Welcome to Columbia

The innermost hub of South Carolina, Columbia is not only the capital, but a city rich with history. Because it’s South Carolina’s most central city, we established our Columbia office to better serve our clients throughout the state. Our team has worked in the city for decades; providing services to major clients like South Carolina Department of Transportation, the University of South Carolina, Richland County School District, local county governments, and the City of Columbia.

Our commitment to South Carolina means we care, because we live and work here. Our numerous projects throughout the region have helped shape our world by connecting people to their natural environment while strengthening the interpersonal bonds that tie us all to one another and our communities.

We are humbled by our ability to continuously do great work throughout the state. We’ve collaborated on several iconic designs within Columbia—one being the redesign of Finlay Park right in the heart of downtown. Through our continued successes, we are planning for our thoughtful design to be felt consistently throughout the city.
