IMAGINE IT… What Will Be Your Lasting Achievement

Our Mission

Flexibility and adaptability are increasingly essential attributes of our mission. Although the long-term effects of climate change are uncertain, we know that sea levels and temperatures will be higher, droughts longer and more widespread, and flooding more intense. How different regions will experience these changes will vary considerably, and ESGs will have to assess the likely threats to their communities and respond accordingly by generating a return on investment for all.

“We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

Our built environment is all around us; it provides the setting for all our lives’ events, big and small. Whether we notice it or not, our built environment plays a massive role in our natural, economic, and cultural environments. The built environment provides a context for facing and addressing humankind’s most significant contemporary challenges.

Sacred Place Design is fundamentally a process of continual improvement. It is a process by which today’s “best practices” become tomorrow’s standard practices, a rising foundation for ever-higher performance levels. Creating more vital communities, more healthful indoor and outdoor spaces, and stronger connections to nature. The Sacred Place Design movement strives to effect a permanent shift in overall design, planning, construction, and operations practices, resulting in lower-impact, more sustainable, and ultimately regenerative environments with measurable results for all.
