"Stewards of the Land"
When looking at the 'expertise' on their website that is the first thing you read. For me, that speaks volumes as my personal interpretation of landscape architecture is stewardship. One of their core values is social diversity in all they they do and trying to be at the forefront to new ideas, keeping an open mind to different approaches.
They have a diverse portfolio from water parks in Dubai, to urban realm and resort communities on islands. Their impact is shown in Etereo Auberge; which retains the protection of 500 acres of mangrove forests surrounding the hotel but also adds an air of luxury with its resorts. There is also a nod to the Mexican arts through the designs.
This holistic approach is exemplary for a career in Landscape Architecture. One critique I would say about the practise is there is a lack of evidences for social diversity on their website. As it mainly contains portfolio pieces, it is difficult to understand the character of the practise.
