The Biosphere Group is a team of professionals who provide and orchestrate skills necessary to achieve excellence for our clients' broad range of project requirements. Since each project varies in scope and complexity, we add talent as required and coordinate effort to assure desired outcome. To a large extent, the internal environment (what is within a person) creates external reality. We plan and design physical environments in harmony with ecological systems, that respect culture, and enhance quality of life. The solution to the complex environmental problems that society faces must be solved with a higher level of thinking than the level at which they were created. Man’s dominion of the Earth exercised without understanding and respect for its interdependent life sustaining systems and lesser life forms has borne the bitter fruit of a highly polluted planet and unbalanced ecosystems. Past practices have undermined the very foundation upon which life depends. This lifestyle is not sustainable. Therefore, a new paradigm must be utilized at all levels of humanity’s method of living to create a better future. Our interdisciplinary team approach working closely with clients results in sustainable solutions that meet today’s needs while providing future generations a better heritage. Our continuous quest for excellence produces built environments in which program elements are organized to reflect social, programmatic, ecological, geographic, and economic drivers. Creative designs employ biomimicry to work with natural systems. Sensitive and skillful application of sound environmental principles of planning and design enables site optimization. Habitations are designed to be healthy, green, and sustainable with particular attention to the use of passive solar energy and other climatological influences. The primary expertise of our associates include landscape architecture, city planning, building architecture, geographical & economic planning, storm water management, water resource planning, environmental sciences, land planning, project management, outdoor lighting and horticulture. Culture, programs, economics, buildings, energy systems, landform, vegetation, geology, ecology, biology, site physiology and site physiography, pedestrian and vehicular transportation systems, communications, solar and wind influences and hydrologic cycles are some of the factors considered in the planning+design process. Cognition of and design ability with these factors coupled with a mutually respectful and participatory process with stakeholders result in successful solutions. Top of page |
