Merritt Chase is a landscape architecture firm dedicated to creating public spaces that connect people, culture, and ecology across Middle America.

Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Indianapolis, Indiana, we work to create public landscapes for the Midwest, Rust Belt, and Appalachia. We design public parks, gardens, plazas, waterfronts, and cultural districts, transforming underutilized spaces into places that people love. We believe that thoughtfully designed public spaces strengthen communities and improve people’s lives. 

Our design process is deeply rooted in research and community engagement. Through our projects, we seek to redefine contemporary Middle American urbanism by designing spaces that uncover histories, restore habitats, and reflect the social identity of communities.
