Biography
Hapa Collaborative sees each project as an opportunity to partner, dream big and synthesize ideas wrought from many, often opposing, influences. Theirgoal is to evoke the poetry of the place and in doing so reveal something delightful but perhaps previously unseen. Most of all, Hapa considers themselves to be a contemporary voice for landscape architecture and a small, agile and fresh alternative to traditional firms.
Hapa Collaborative works within the full breadth of scales from master plans to pocket parks, civic spaces to private residences, streetscapes to green roofs. Hapa specializes in addressing the leftover spaces between buildings, applying the principles of landscape urbanism to city-building, site design and community consultation. It is Hapa's goal to explore new methods and materials, forge new relationships and ultimately create places that people remember.
