open spaces

crafting places that bring communities together & nature to life

Open spaces are essential havens from the fast-paced rhythms of daily life. At TPG, we understand that thoughtfully designed open spaces foster community, enhance well-being, and inspire stewardship of the natural world. We bring deep expertise in managing the design and delivery of spaces vital to civic life and ecological health—including parks, plazas, waterfronts, botanical gardens, arboretums, zoos, and aquariums. Each type of environment comes with its own complexities: parks and plazas must balance technical demands such as utilities, drainage, structural systems, and accessibility with the need for open, adaptable spaces that support a variety of public activities; waterfronts demand strategies for resilience, erosion control, habitat enhancement, and public access; botanical gardens and arboretums require careful coordination of irrigation, planting, and long-term care; and zoos and aquariums depend on highly technical systems that support animal welfare, visitor experience, and sustainability. TPG manages these layered needs through a holistic approach—blending thoughtful planning, expert consultant engagement and coordination, and proactive stakeholder engagement. We ensure these spaces not only meet the needs of today’s communities, but are also sustainably developed to enrich lives and ecosystems for generations to come.
