Site Planning / Concept Development / Theming

Zoning requirements. Permits. Branding. Local environmental considerations. There are so many factors to be considered in the early stages of a project.

Kimley-Horn has designed many public and private projects across the country, and each have unique challenges. We emphasize the development of a pleasing visual environment, meaningful theme, distinctive image, and strong sense of place. As municipalities grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of the communities we live in. With our creative problem-solving approach, Kimley-Horn landscape architects and planners will overcome physical challenges to create a sense of place for our client’s project vision.

We have designed solutions to these challenges utilizing our team from across the country in a collaborative working environment.  We offer our clients our most qualified staff for a specific challenge as a specialized approach to develop solutions.  This process of sharing information and staff has created an enormous project library of solutions that benefits each of our clients. We use a variety of techniques to illustrate the vision ranging from softer hand graphics to highly technical three dimensional digital simulations involving drones and animation resulting in video fly throughs.  These are very beneficial for both designing and understanding the site, but also building consensus and approval of the design.
