OUR PHILOSOPHY

Roha begins its design process with circulation planning, shade analysis and hydrology analysis. Energy flow principles of Feng Shui and Vaastu guide our work. With a focus on user comfort and environmental sustainability, we embrace the principle of sustainable design at its core. We begin our site investigations with the idea of low maintenance landscape, low water consuming plants, minimal impervious surfacing and maximum rainwater recapture. Shade and sun studies drive the design solution so that people friendly landscapes are created. Our goal is to invite the user to use the outdoors, promoting connected living with other humans and with nature.

Roha specializes in a collaborative design and visioning process that engages clients and stakeholder groups with the design team. We create a dialogue where the needs and opportunities of the project are explored. Our role on each project changes as the project progresses. We see our role as formative to the built agenda, by identifying the site areas that can be landscaped, by clarifying how circulation will impact future functioning, and by mapping the sustainability plan for the development. .

Landscape design often suffers when there is lack of vision around its use and program. We supply the client with user oriented programmatic plans which will allow the landscape to come alive. We search for how a sense of place might be created by bringing the site, the users and the program together.

THE PROCESS


The construction of landscape must focus on both the concept and the user. One without the other is meaningless. Our work focuses on creating landscapes that speak to, and can be enjoyed by, multiple and diverse users. Our designs are less focused on formal pattern or geometry, but instead they reinforce the joy of the outdoors - bringing people closer to each other and to nature.

The pliability of the landscape medium allows the creation of dead (purely visual) or alive (functional and used) places. Our work is focused on creating alive landscapes that build the spirit of the place by drawing people to the outdoors.
