A solid core of principles

This is the home of Urban Design Solutions, a design & planning firm providing expert advice to quality-conscious clients, who seek to improve their communities through better development principles, policies and practice.

We subscribe to a core of traditional design principles to promote the development of compact, vibrant, mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly places that improve the quality of our communities and towns.

UDS advocates the reuse and recovery of available infrastructure as a way to revitalize and heal cities: Urban Infill maximizes the reuse of existing resources and strengthens well established neighborhoods, while the redevelopment of suburban areas seeks to create community character that has been lost through sprawl.

In order to achieve these goals, we apply an open and transparent practice, engaging all stakeholders early into the planning and design processes. We focus on creating feasible and realistic plans that will mature well and adapt to environmental and socio-economic changes over time.

Above all, we believe that by changing the way we plan, design, and build our cities, we have the power to positively impact not only our own lives, but also those of future generations.

How may we help you?

UDS specializes in collaborative solutions for projects ranging from small-scale urban infill and architectural design to long-range visioning and strategic planning. Through careful balance between big-picture thinking and an acute attention to detail, we seek to better serve the individual needs of our clients and provide tailored solutions to each project.

Our team is composed of architects, planners, urban designers, landscape architects and experts in Geographic Information Systems. We routinely collaborate with other professionals to complement our core practice and deliver the best possible solution to complex urban development challenges.

We craft our work with great care because we understand that our clients demand and deserve a higher level of service. If you share our vision of better cities and would like to receive more information, please contact us via email or by phone, at 407.574.0541.
