Their design for Lighthouse Park in Pascagoula, Mississippi recently received the Honor Award from the Mississippi Chapter of The American Society of Landscape Architects. CPLA has two major areas of expertise that are valuable to developers, academic institutions and cities. PLANNING: Our planning abilities allow us to study not just the project site, but also the context and how program elements relate and affect the surrounding community. We evaluate the circulation, the structure of architecture and the placement of each building, and the organization of the landscape and open space. This holds true in any of our campus, park or neighborhood plans. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE: With growing demands for clean water, and on site stormwater retention, our knowledge of low impact development strategies has proven valuable for developers and cities. These practices allow for on site storage to be broken up in smaller scaled systems that create more usable land for development or active open space. By utilizing the landscape as a living system, we are able to work with engineers and naturalize the process of stormwater facilities in urban settings.
