LET CREATIVITY FLOURISH

By uniting bright minds and diverse perspectives, GTP has successfully designed projects at every scale. Great design is always uniquely tied to its place: culturally, socially, and physically. It derives its energy from a framework of elements and the aspirations of the community’s shared vision.

LAND PLANNING

Land planning is a core element in designing livable, sustainable communities. Whether the project is residential, mixed-use, commercial, or institutional, an enduring land plan ensures the success of the architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and marketability of the project.

GTP prepares land use plans that identify the most appropriate use of a given site, based on an in-depth study of the environmental, community, and regulatory opportunities and constraints. They have assisted their clients in obtaining site plan and rezoning approvals for a variety of residential communities, town centers, traditional neighborhoods, commercial, industrial, institutional, and mixed-use developments.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Landscape architecture is the unifying element between the man-made and natural environments. Their landscape architectural work incorporates sustainable development goals with the coexistence and management of the natural and built environment. GTP is dedicated to integrating site functionality and resource conservation with placemaking aesthetics to provide their clients with an environment that is memorable and livable, and a product that enhances the user’s experience.

MASTER PLANNING

An integrated and collaborative Master Planning process sets the course for the future of a community, institution, or neighborhood. Environmental and site analysis, strategic planning, fiscal impact, community engagement, sustainable design coupled with a site-specific vision by the client are all elements that help to create a clear path forward allowing for project implementation.

RECREATION PLANNING

GTP is committed to helping our municipal, institutional, and development clients provide important open space and recreational opportunities for their communities. They offer creative ways in which to maximize the potential of the space, plan for future demands and promote responsible environmental management.
