Place Integrated (PI) is an approach to design thinking, strategy, and practice that regards the unification of effective leadership, communication, and collaboration as paramount to addressing some of the world's most pressing issues related to the built and natural environment. It is the notion that novel consideration and integration of all systems that affect a place will yield the most successful outcome. Our foundation is built upon a desire to do great work with great people - life is too short to spend it otherwise. What keeps us curious and innovative is a deep fascination and respect for semi-arid regions around the world, particularly how human inhabitants have modified their environment to sustain life - regarding water as a precious resource rather than a liability. The basis of our work always begins with establishing excellent collaborations (both virtual and physical) with a clear design and communication approach. We seek to partner with motivated clients and talented practitioners that find our mission and talents essential to their own success, as we find that in ours. We invest our time in sharing information and connecting motivated doers of all experience levels and professions in hopes that it will empower them to be effective agents of change in their communities promoting sustainable design principles in architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, and planning. As Landscape Architects and Project Managers, we just so happen to do excellent work as well.
