Philosophy
Halvorson Design Partnership’s professional practice is built on a foundation of long-term client relationships, and the firm has grown primarily through repeat work and client referrals in both the public and private sectors. The principals and staff are dedicated to listening and developing a comprehensive perspective before beginning design work. They believe the best design solutions result from the best information and robust collaboration with all those involved in project planning, development, use and maintenance.
The firm’s emphasis on design commissions leading to built work results in a comprehensive and practical knowledge of construction requirements. Halvorson Design Partnership also offers expertise in several technical areas including: historic landscape restoration and adaptation; waterfront landscape design; landscapes constructed on deck; streetscape design and renovation; horticulture; and selection and coordination of public art.
