At CDS, architecture and landscape architecture are considered two parts of a whole in which the landscape expands interior living spaces, while also anchoring buildings within their larger context.
Through landscape design, CDS interprets the way people use their living spaces within the ecological framework of the site. The CDS design team understands that landscapes--which are systems of resources that include sunlight, plants, soil, and water--are engaging spaces that link wildlife habitats, buildings, drainage systems, and communities of people. CDS creates productive landscapes that provide gathering spaces and gardens for residents, habitat and food for wildlife, and advocates the use of natural fertilizers and integrated pest management for ecologically-responsible landscape maintenance.

CDS' collaborative design-build approach uses an integrated and total systems philosophy to the development process. In our design charrettes, we bring together the expertise of various design, construction and engineering disciplines to create designs that benefit all stakeholders. CDS also invites residents or end-users to participate in design charrettes to include their needs and concerns in the design process.
