Our Team
The PORT team includes landscape architects, architects, urban designers, and planners, offering deep and broad experience. We are an unapologetically design-forward practice. We engage our projects without disciplinary preconceptions, instead leveraging both the known and hidden realities of a place, a community, and a client to imagine and implement public spaces that are future-oriented, yet emphatically of a place and its people.
