INSITE
DESIGN STUDIO
Established in 1994, InSite Design Studio, Inc. is a landscape architecture firm that serves public, recreational, commercial, institutional, and residential clients.
InSite actively pursues ecologically sensitive, innovative landscape architectural design through ongoing consideration of hydrologic, topographic and vegetative systems. Environmental sensitivity is at the core of our design process; from the early stages of inventory and analysis through construction and ongoing management. Our firm strives to restore ecological function to every project site, regardless of size or scope, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. Our designs are uniquely site specific, tailored to the opportunities and challenges of each site and to the client’s needs, desires, and budget.
We are committed to participatory design throughout the decision-making process and work inclusively with client, public and governmental input. We seek creative design solutions through client involvement, environmental sensitivity, strong technical skills, practical experience, and a keen eye for beauty.
