Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture in its original and most classic form evolved from the design of gardens. It is the essence of the relationship between people and their immediate natural environment.
Mahan Rykiel believes the art and craft of shaping that environment is the key to successful site design. Whether for a private retreat, a public garden, a college campus or a regional park, it has been an integral part of Mahan Rykiel’s practice for 25 years. We provide our clients with a strong design concept and support its implementation with attention to materials, design details and thoughtful plant selection.
The Mahan Rykiel style draws its character from the people, the context and the indigenous materials of the site. Our philosophy is to meet the needs of the people who use the spaces, respect and reveal the qualities of the land, and provide unique opportunities to engage with and appreciate the natural setting.
