livingLAB is a collaborative landscape architecture and planning studio focused on community-driven design and project realization. We focus on the core practices of: -open space planning and landscape design; -pedestrian and bike safety and mobility; -community engagement and collaboration; and -urban design underpinned with the sustainable practice of green infrastructure. We are inspired by the outcomes of our efforts in these core areas because of their direct impact on community. Our studio, located within the sustainable professional community of the Green Garage in Midtown Detroit, is always abuzz with creative energy. On any given day, you will find us discussing new ideas, developing concept sketches together at the working table, or brainstorming our next big idea over a big cup-o-joe. We believe that the nature of our open-format design studio, coupled with a dedication to community outreach and engagement, supports better project outcomes through collaboration.
