We share these values both among our team members and with our clients. Our articulation of them result in designs that are beyond our clients greatest expectations. DR+A - Introduction
- 3. DR+A DR+A adheres to the theory that there are three sources of form. The first is human needs, more specifically the personal requirements of the client. The second comprises the technology of materials, construction, and plants, including maintenance and a whole range of form determinants. The third is a concern for the spatial expression, which goes beyond the mere satisfaction of requirements and into the realm of fine art. All projects begin with the systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and geological conditions and processes in the landscape. The land provides the context for the objects placed upon it, such as buildings, roads, parks, and courtyards. We believe that the garden can become an extension of the house, an outdoor living room that transitions to the landscape beyond. Understanding the relationship of these objects to the land and to each other is at the core of our work. DR+A creates elegant and functional design solutions. Mr. Robbins considers every project to be a unique and specific challenge to our creative capabilities. The ultimate goal is to create solutions that are beyond the clients greatest expectations. There are no mysterious musts, no set rules, no finger of shame pointed at the gardener who doesnt follow an accepted pattern. Landscaping is not a complex and difficult art to be practiced only by high priests. It is logical, down-to-earth, and aimed at making your plot of ground produce exactly what you want and need from it. The direction in which to move will be determined by the desires of the people who expect to find happiness in their gardens. Happiness will come by adding as much beauty and by eliminating as many irritations as possible within the limits of the problem. The limits of the problem will be the restrictions and opportunities of the site and the ability of the owner and designer to overcome or make use of them. Thomas Church, from Gardens Are For People DR+A - Philosophy

- 5. DR+A DR+A Master Planning The development of a master plan is a fine blending of artistic and scientific principals that our team applies to the planning, design and management of both the natural and built environments. The master plan first defines the overall concept and arrangements of spaces that can later be refined. As an artisan, our team utilizes plants, ground planes, and building elements as paint upon the land as canvas. The master plan defines the broad brush strokes and highlights around which development will be implemented. Scientifically, our team looks at horticulture, soils, water systems, utilities, grading and many other elements to implement these broad brush design. The scientific elements speak to the buildability and long term viability of the master plan. Whether it is a master plan for a residential, retail, campus, or mixed use project, DR+A provides master plans that deliver dynamic live, work and play environments where people want to be.
