Info

Pamela Burton & Company is an internationally renowned landscape architecture firm that specializes in integrating the disciplines of art, architecture and landscape to extend conventional notions of landscape architecture and provide meaning to the environment. Established in 1975, the Santa Monica based corporation offers comprehensive landscape, urban design, and master planning services to civic, institutional, commercial, and residential clients. We consider landscape and architecture as two modes of the same visual and spatial continuum. Working with displacements within a rational order, we introduce metaphorical themes and the layering of history in order to create resonant spaces. The design of each place evolves from its cultural and physical environment and is informed by geography, ecology, and history. The input and desires of the client are our primary concern. Technical expertise and aesthetic sensitivity are complemented by an interest in the symbolic nature of the built environment and a commitment to create landscapes that fulfill the needs of clients.
