A Collective Experience

As designers, we tackle every project and challenge through a creative lens. Together, we create transformative places that celebrate the human experience, honor cultural stories and respond to the needs of an ever-changing environment.

With the human experience at the forefront, we are stewarding the earth and designing from a sense of perspective. We blend passion with knowledge, art with science and heart with mind – continuously leaning into these dichotomies, as brilliance and beauty sit where they collide.

True brilliance is not the result of one transcendent event, but the collaboration of an incredible group of individuals working in tandem.

EDWARD D. STONE, JR., EDSA FOUNDER

Through our six decades of practice, we have had the luxury of being involved in some of the most transpiring projects and are better designers because of it. With expertise across multiple industries and geographies, the power of the firm’s portfolio, talent, expertise and influence as a global design leader are leveraged to deliver the best projects to our clients and users of the world’s landscapes.
