Residential Communities
Residential development is about much more than individual lots and buildings.
The landscape between them creates the streets, parks, connections and shared spaces that ultimately shape how a community feels.
Orterra works with developers, architects, planners and engineers to create landscape outcomes for residential communities that balance planning requirements, commercial realities, environmental conditions and the everyday experience of residents.
Landscape Architecture for Growing Communities
We Work Across
- Subdivisions
- Townhouses
- Apartments
- Multi Residential Developments
- Build to Rent
- Retirement Living
- Masterplanned Communities
Our Approach
We consider landscape at both the individual site and broader community scale.
This can include streetscapes, entry statements, communal open space, parks, pedestrian connections, planting, shade, recreation opportunities, interfaces and landscape responses to drainage and infrastructure.
Early involvement allows landscape requirements to be integrated into the overall development strategy rather than resolved late in the approval process.
