Local context plays a large role in the site development of libraries and museums and RSLA looks for cues in the surrounding region and within the museum subjects or library users. Our goal is the successful marriage of the building and site to provide both a functionally and aesthetically pleasing solution. As with all of our projects, we strive to develop sustainable concepts from the outset including lowimpact development (LID), permeable pavements, best management practices (BMP) for stormwater mitigation, use of native and xeriscape plants, user-friendly public courtyards and learning gardens, green roof design and solar lighting.

RSLA emphasizes a sustainable and green approach to residential landscape design. It begins with an appropriate design that includes functional, cost ecient, visually pleasing, environmentally friendly and maintainable areas, all while meeting the program needs of a family. The design must be implemented in a cost and energy ecient manner and be built to stand the test of time. Lastly, the landscape must be monitored and maintained to ensure a continuously healthy ecosystem. RSLA works closely with families to develop a compound that suits all of their needs and provides four seasons of use and beauty.
