Penguin Environmental Design (PED) is a professional landscape and residential design firm located in Hamden, Connecticut. PED bridges architecture and landscape by “designing place from the outside in”, a concept rooted in Japanese culture. PED’s designs are not only beautiful to your eyes, but also meditative for your minds, healthy for your body, and sustainable for our environment. Our taste is in contemporary design with comfort that fits to both modern and traditional setting. PED especially cherishes small projects: new constructions or remodeling of small houses and gardens. We also take on a wide variety of projects: parks, campuses, public art works in commercial, institutional, and health facilities, urban design projects, and urban studies. Our principals are a team of Japanese landscape architect and residential designers who have practiced and were educated in both the U.S. and Japan.
