Engaging all the senses through materiality in landscape design.

One of the unifying features of our work is a deep passion for the materiality of our projects. As landscape architects we have the privilege of designing for all of the senses. We dive into a wide range of elemental materials, both natural and man-made, to find the right combination that communicates a concept and brings landscape to life.

How parametric design supports creative exploration.

How to turn a hand-drawn dna strand into an elegant art wall? Parametric design. Using this computational design method with Grasshopper and Rhino, our team can explore and easily iterate on complex geometry without exhausting our budget on projects–especially useful for small offices because it automates time-consuming tasks by consolidating them into generative algorithms for more fluid manipulation. At Mantle, we embrace these tools to make our process more efficient, collaborate seamlessly, and create distinct and uniquely elegant forms.
