Clarity is at the heart of how we work. It is a patient and thoughtful process that begins with listening and continues through careful refinement. Every site has its own story, and we approach each project with the goal of uncovering its clearest expression. We are excited to share a glimpse of that work and the ideas that shape it.

Last week, our team hosted a community engagement event at the Carver Community Center in Chattanooga, TN, as part of the planning process for the nearly 30-acre George Washington Carver Park. Once a nine-hole golf course that served the African-American community until the 1970s, the site is deeply rooted in the history of the surrounding Bushtown, Churchville, and Orchard Knob neighborhoods. Inspired by that legacy, the event featured nine interactive stations - Learn, Play, Exercise, Gather, Relax, Nature, Connect, Safety, and Design - each sparking conversations about the park’s future. Over 100 community members joined us to share ideas and reflect on the park’s past. We loved hearing from everyone and can’t wait to keep the conversation going!
