Berger Partnership
The Berger Partnership is a Landscape Architecture firm that strives to create meaningful, sustainable environments meshing innovative design practices with real world situations. All projects are undertaken with the aim of creating spaces that are integral and inseparable from the city and community that surround them. Sustainable and regenerative design is a core value of Berger Partnership dating back to the receipt of three Audubon Society awards in 1978. Since then we have participated in Washington’s first LEED-certified project and first Gold-rated project, and most recently the first projects in the world designed to meet the Living Building Challenge for a mid-rise commercial building and park site under the Landscape and Infrastructure typology, the Bullitt Center and McGilvra Place Park. To stay current on trends affecting our industry we develop research documents that explore recent sustainable practices: Water Management Strategies (2007 WASLA Merit Award); Functional Landscapes: Assessing Elements of Seattle Green Factor (2010 WASLA Merit and People's Choice Awards); Fundamentals of Integrated Design: A Precedent Based Introduction to Sustainable Sites Initiative and The Living Building Challenge; Productive Neighborhoods: A Case Based Exploration of Seattle’s Urban Agriculture Projects (2012 ASLA Honor Award).
