Diverse cultural narratives across thousands of years of history tell us that the beginning of all life is derived from clay. It seems to us therefore, that mud simply makes awesome things happen. At Mud, we use this as inspiration to develop a unique site vocabulary through a compassionate and collaborative process that generates fearless design while referencing three existential components:

stardust

Science tells us that most everything on Earth is developed from the heart of a star. As landscape architects we dictate the utility of the living and nonliving systems of human use, ecology, and design.

water

Water is the great and ancient alchemist. Mixed with stardust and sunlight it formed the primordial soup from which sprang life. There is nothing that can be said that hasn’t been said about its importance, but at Mud we see it as a design colleague. One with an opinion, an aesthetic, and most importantly, an undeniable swagger.

WhIMSY

Whimsy, the third and final component, is where the awesome happens. We want to create the physical space where magic, joy, and meaning find their way into daily life. With our work, we strive to translate someone’s experience into something a little better, in a little way, whether that someone walks on 2 legs or 4, or more, or less, or none at all.
