Good design should create alluring environments and connections for people. At Alta, we have the vision to fit all the pieces together and create a people-friendly landscape that’s more than the sum of its parts.
Among the elements we consider, create and bring together are streetscapes, Main Street corridors, transit access, waterfronts and parks. Working with one entity or multiple agencies, we can use our experience to coordinate stakeholders, identify and strategize goals, and overcome barriers.
We’re particularly strong in integrating environmental concerns with our projects. Our goal is for each project to improve the environment and make places better for generations to come. We perform detailed environmental assessments to ensure that our projects respect the natural environment. In addition, we emphasize green infrastructure, finding ways to build what’s needed while keeping it eco-friendly.
