Keystone Architecture announced the expansion of its services to include landscape architecture. The strategic initiative underscores the firm’s unwavering dedication to client satisfaction and to deliver holistic design solutions that seamlessly blend with built and natural environments.
The landscape architecture team is led by Jennifer Wall, project manager and Derek Vandenbrink, project coordinator. With more than 20 years of combined work experience, their expertise can tackle projects of any scale, from intimate gardens to large-scale urban developments.
Wall brings more than 15 years of experience in landscape architecture and is fueled by her ambition to cultivate vibrant outdoor environments that elevate urban living. During her undergraduate studies in geography, Wall’s journey commenced with a pivotal visit to a design firm where she discovered an avenue to channel her appreciation for nature within ever-changing urban settings.
She specializes in designing layered and well-programmed outdoor amenity spaces for multi-family, mixed-use, and townhouse projects.
Vandenbrink is a seasoned landscape designer with a passion for creating dynamic spaces that foster community interaction and encourage people to interact with nature. His journey began at the age of 15, when he delved into landscape construction, eventually transitioning into the design and consulting realm.
His expertise lies in urban design, with a focus on site analysis, grading, and retaining wall design for mixed-use and townhouse projects. His design philosophy centers around budget-conscious solutions that draw attention and fuse functionality with aesthetics.
By providing architectural design, interior design, and now landscape architecture, Keystone is able to deliver a cohesive design across every facet of a development. In addition, this service offering significantly streamlines the design and permitting processes by reducing the time spent on consultant coordination. Ultimately, this process mitigates the risk of project delays, ensuring a more efficient project execution and optimal cost-effectiveness.
