Based in Indianapolis, they engage directly with the urban systems they help shape. This day‑to‑day experience informs their work and reinforces a focus on projects that function well over time and contribute meaningfully to public life.

Their expertise spans civic planning, landscape architecture, historic preservation, public art, experiential graphics, and multimodal systems. Early work in leading design offices, including projects associated with Eero Saarinen, Roche Dinkeloo, and Paul Rudolph, established a foundation of rigor, clarity, and public purpose that continues to define the practice.

The firm’s work includes regional pedestrian and multimodal plans; greenway, boulevard, and park systems; corridor and entry strategies; and comprehensive plans for campuses, neighborhoods, and parks. This work reflects a modernist design heritage combined with a strong commitment to cultural and regional context.

This approach is demonstrated by nationally significant work, including the National Historic Landmark Theme Study for Columbus Modernist Architecture, as well as National Register nominations for the Kessler Park and Boulevard Systems in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Their project‑based grant work has helped secure more than $25 million in funding.

Meg and John remain personally engaged in all phases of their work—from strategic framing and stakeholder engagement to systems planning and implementation. This continuity of leadership ensures clarity, accountability, and consistent execution across complex, long‑term efforts.
