Site Workshop

Studio 342 Landscape Architecture was founded in 2004 by Chad Wichers and Jamie Fleckenstein, each licensed landscape architects with over 8 years of professional experience. Upon creating Studio 342 Landscape Architecture, Chad and Jamie made a commitment to deliver truly unique, inventive, and site-specific design to their clients, and to provide the highest level of service and attention to guide their clients confidently though the design and construction process. Staying small and keeping the firm's billing rates low allows Studio 342 to offer clients principal involvement at every stage of the project, giving clients the confidence that the faces of the firm are handling their project needs. This philosophy of direct involvement and customer service has proven successful, as Studio 342 has guided each and every one of their clients through the design process resulting in projects that are built on time, within budget, and above expectations. Both enjoy participating in and sharing the creative process and believe it is essential to produce public and private spaces that encourage use and stimulate users. Studio 342 Landscape Architecture listens to the needs of their clients and then leads the design process to achieve those goals, giving their client a space that invites, inspires, and invigorates.

ABOUT Shugart Bates is committed to a comprehensive design approach that combines large scale thinking with the artfulness of a small design studio. We have projects on the boards that range from large mixed-use projects to intimate interiors. Our design solutions are informed by the attention to craft required for smaller projects combined with the disciplined rigor demanded by large scale work. By designing at opposite ends of the scale we engage disciplines as varied as urban planning and interior design to enable the creation of inspiring places. We work closely with our clients to stretch the creative envelope regardless of project size, program or budget. As a principal-led practice, key designers are directly and intimately involved with each project. The relationships we build with our clients are based on trust and accountability. We focus on the interaction between people and their surroundings in order to create spaces of enduring beauty and relevance. We believe in the power of good design to transform and elevate the quality of our daily life. Our projects are successful because they are driven by great ideas and delivered with technical expertise. We strive to create design solutions that are relevant, durable and age with grace. We are committed to making positive long term contributions to the built environment and to help improve the quality of our increasingly dense cities.
