Revolutionizing Landscape Design with Innovative 3D Technology
Studio 2nd Street is proud to introduce itself as a pioneering design practice that leverages advanced 3D technology to redefine landscape architecture and design-build partnerships. The firm stands out in the industry by utilizing a virtual design and construction (VDC) workflow to optimize project delivery and enhance collaboration.
Empowering Design Through Technology
Under the leadership of industry experts, Studio 2nd Street aims to break through traditional barriers typically found in large corporate structures. According to Kurt Buxton, the Managing Principal and CEO, their ethos promotes agility and seamless communication, empowering team members to make decisions closer to the point of contact. This adaptability allows for the swift resolution of issues and improves overall project outcomes.
A Fresh Take on Design-Build Collaboration
Many firms in the industry often engage in 3D design only when specifically requested by clients, generally opting for 2D CAD models until project milestones. In contrast, Studio 2nd Street operates directly within Revit, which equips the team to work actively in a shared model. This proactive approach improves precision and efficiency, enabling the firm to collaborate in real-time to avoid conflicts and maintain the integrity of the design.
Fostering Functional and Impactful Designs
"Our passion is to create spaces that serve functional purposes while making a significant impact," Buxton asserts. The process involves close collaboration with both design and construction teams, ensuring that the critical aspects of site design are preserved while achieving the desired results within budgetary limits.
Expertise Built on Experience
With more than 13 years of experience handling design-build projects, Studio 2nd Street was previously the in-house design team for one of the nation’s largest landscape development companies, BrightView. This background provided them with valuable insights into the complexities of the design-build process, making them adept collaborators with general contractors and landscape service providers.
Emphasizing Sustainability
At the heart of Studio 2nd Street’s ethos is a commitment to sustainability. The team includes LEED and SITES-accredited professionals, ensuring that every project not only meets but exceeds today’s environmental standards. This dedication is reflected in their approach to creating high-performance landscapes that resonate with contemporary sustainability goals.
Strategic Presence Across the Nation
Being fully remote allows the Studio 2nd Street team to maintain a national footprint while providing local insights into projects. Their unique structure and procedures ensure that high-quality collaboration is facilitated, irrespective of locations involved, thus demonstrating that a nimble approach to business can surpass the limitations of a larger scale.
Transforming Corporate Campus Design
Studio 2nd Street is redefining corporate campus planning by adopting a systems-based approach that aligns outdoor environments with the broader priorities of large organizations, especially Fortune 500 companies. Their methodology incorporates evaluations across identification, outdoor amenities, ecological impact, and viability for maintenance, thereby creating spaces that enhance employee experiences and operational efficiency.
Engaging all Stakeholders
This innovative process involves collaboration with various corporate sectors, such as human resources and sustainability teams. Studio 2nd Street strategically aligns project interventions to deliver multi-faceted benefits, improving not only the physical environment but also employee well-being and operational effectiveness.
Meeting the Evolving Needs of Organizations
The firm’s campus planning model is both adaptable and deeply integrated with the needs of modern organizations. Whether they are aiding a single prominent campus or forming a cohesive standard for national portfolios, Studio 2nd Street excels in crafting environments that express corporate values and motivate employees.
