At CDF, water is the origin of everything we do. We believe water, in all its forms, has innate beauty. Our projects replicate natural water cycles and turn them into visible, valuable human amenities. This philosophy drives all of our design projects- health facilities, residential neighborhoods, parks, interpretive centers, retail stores, or streetscapes. Each project begins with a careful examination of a site and the people it will serve. We strive to understand the true natural and cultural spirit of a place, and express it in the design. This is possible through our multi-disciplinary expertise of landscape architects, scientists, civil engineers, and planners. We include our private, public, design professional, and non-profit clients into an integrated design process. For 16 years, CDF has been a leader in the ecological design movement. We have pioneered green technologies and monitored them over time, to ensure constant improvement.
