For JDDA, the path of its design work is reflective of a new generation of landscape architects. A connection with nature is in demand now more than ever, whether the space is urban or rural, grand, or intimate. JDDA believes that the art and practice of designing the outdoor environment should not be devoid of a respect for nature andits impact on change and growth.
This work reflects the intersection of nature and art; the juxtaposition of the designed and the natural; with bold, contemporary, dynamic gestures in the form of sculptural plant material, innovative hardscaping, and an infusion of landscape art. JDDA cares about the world we live in. The landscape has the power to become our sanctuary and to be uplifting, relaxing, and thought provoking—and JDDA continues to foster these intentions with an enduring appreciation for nature.
