Who We Are

We are planners and landscape architects.

The combination of those two disciplines is highly effective, as we always think about the broad perspective as well as the details of implementation. Established in 1985, CBA has achieved a solid reputation for work that is founded on ecological and social principles, and comprehensive and progressive processes.

We are true to our values.

With values that include social responsibility and environmentally sensitive development, we incorporate those as a foundation in all aspects of our work.

We are strategic thinkers.

We thrive on finding new opportunities, providing creative solutions to complex problems, and developing innovative methods. This has resulted in 17 awards from the planning, landscape architecture, and parks professional organizations.

We are communicators.

We stress open and effective communication at all levels, and have special training and experience in consensus building and conflict resolution. We work in collaboration with our clients and communities, striving to be responsive to their interests.

We have powerful technology.

We have been on the forefront of the planning and landscape architecture professions in our use of computer technology since we first started using GIS in 1986. Our GIS enables us to undertake complex mapping and analysis, and to integrate structures and terrain in 3D animations.

We are an effective size.

Our firm is small enough to offer personalized service, retaining the vitality of a studio environment, yet large enough to have the capability to complete large projects and offer high-end expertise.
