We listen to their needs and advocate for their voices to be heard.

Studio HIP promotes environmentally responsible design and through thoughtful analysis of each site’s unique ecology and through our in depth knowledge of the inherent opportunities and constraints of development initiatives we craft sustainable solutions.  Studio HIP’s success is based on maximizing a sites’ potential both environmentally, horticulturally, artistically and balancing those design objectives without losing site of constructability, Affordability and long term maintainability.
