COMMUNITY SPACES

When designing community spaces, we take great pride in our ability to deliver innovative and beautiful concepts while remaining mindful of budget, schedule, scope, and desired uses. Community projects are special to us, and we delve deep into the area’s history and draw upon resident perspectives to create a sense of identity for the space and enhance users’ lives.

"We have also found [Sweet Sparkman] to be sensitive to and capable of addressing issues related to historic structures and natural vegetation. In addition, the firm has been flexible in adapting plans based upon stakeholder and public input as new ideas and opportunities came to light."
