Gordon Lemmel, PLA

Senior Landscape Architect

Why Did You Choose Landscape Architecture?

Long story made short - I chose landscape architecture because it combines my passion for design and love for the outdoors. Creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces that enhance people's lives and connect them to their surroundings brings me a deep sense of fulfillment. I believe in the power of well-design spaces to positively impact communities, promote sustainability, and foster a greater appreciation for our surroundings.

What Professional Accomplishment are you most proud of (so far)?

One of my designs ended up on ESPN College Game Day (which was the whole goal of the design).
