HMWhite has championed the belief that landscapes are enduring cultural expressions and vital environmental assets for over three decades. As a collaborative landscape architecture and urban design firm, we craft immersive environments that inspire, restore, and strengthen the connection between people and nature.
Our work transforms urban spaces by seamlessly integrating ecology, culture, and social engagement. Rooted in a science-based, research-driven approach, our projects elevate everyday experiences—whether through a public plaza, campus, rooftop, or civic space. We believe that design should balance environmental performance with human well-being, ensuring that landscapes are as functional as they are beautiful.
From concept to construction and long-term stewardship, we approach each project with innovation, material integrity, and community collaboration. Our commitment extends beyond aesthetics; we create high-performance landscapes that enhance biodiversity, resilience, and urban livability.
HMWhite’s award-winning work has been recognized by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Urban Land Institute (ULI), the NYC Public Design Commission, and Time Magazine’s Best Design of the Year. Our projects have been widely published and featured in numerous books and architectural journals, and we have been a recurring nominee for the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award.
