ISD’s talented staff has extensive creative and technical design experience that enables us to contribute to one-of-a-kind projects and those with familiar design elements.

Technology- Sophisticated computer technologies enable us to work efficiently and collaborate with other professionals.  We are able to provide our clients with clear and detailed documents for use in design refinement, permit submittals, marketing, and for permanent records.  Our tools include Computer Aided Design (CAD), LandCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Photoshop, and other specialized programs

Site Planning- Our skills are honed to clearly see the opportunities and constraints of a site which enables us to find a balance between the requirements for development and the health of the environment.

Design- We are proponents of a regional approach to landscape and architectural design and wherever possible we look to include the work of regional artists, artisans and local materials. 

Sustainability/LEED- We are passionate about exploring and utilizing sustainable practices, green elements, and Low Impact Design (LID) strategies to contribute in significant ways to LEED and “Green Building” projects.

Stewardship- We often work with environmental consultants to better respond to the most current scientific and horticultural techniques of assessment and design as well as to the complex government regulations related to permitting and construction.
