MSP's philosophy recognizes that we, as a world community, now generally live within built environments; therefore, the quality of the design of these built environments affects, in large part, the quality of our existence. Additionally, as we see ourselves as part of "nature," aesthetics are a necessary component of environmentalism. The aesthetic quality, or design, of our environments will determine their success and relevance to our respective cultures.

At MSP, our designs synthesize complex social issues with the requirements of environmentally sound practice; however, in keeping with our office's design philosophy, we also bring a strong aesthetic focus to each project. While knowing that every project must be solved at an ecological level, MSP goes beyond each site's technical requirements to search for aesthetic solutions that in turn create value, a sense of identity, and determine the sustainability of a landscape.
