Grow your imagination through your outdoor world.
MKB Design Studios strives to elicit wonder and joy through creative and ecologically oriented landscape design.
A passion for design
We seek projects that align with our mission to create engaging outdoor spaces for people and wildlife.
Color and Texture
Ground plane material, plant palette and other landscape elements express the unique quality of the design. Nodes and paths dictate the places to stay and the places to flow through the landscape.
Native Plants and Low Water Adapted Plants
Plant selection directly impacts the wildlife who will be experiencing your landscape.
Wildlife Habitat
Outdoor spaces for people should be designed for coexistence.
Education
Client participation in the design process as well as a desire to cultivate a deep understanding of their landscape is important.
Experience
Landscapes can provide ground for gathering, solitude and everything in between with a variety of spatial uses.
Unique Elements
A garden becomes its own when it can express itself with designed elements as well as ephemeral qualities that find their way in.
