“Design in harmony with nature” is our motto at Aria Landscape Architecture. However, we believe that sustainable design goes much further than that. Sustainable design includes not only the environmental aspects but also economic and social sustainability, human health and well-being. We strive to incorporate environmental, economic and social sustainability into everything we do.
On the business side of things, we try to keep our footprint small. We recycle and used recycled products whenever possible. Efficient use of space and digital technology allow us to keep our office small and our energy use low. In addition, our website is carbon-neutral.
