There are certain things you should know about Prototype’s design approach: it will always include materials, practices and standards that are as *sustainable as possible.

Design elements might include (but are not limited to):

• utilization of methods that are best practices, tried and tested, technologically current

• reuse of on-site materials

• planting designs with mostly / if not all native plants

• the use of local / domestic materials

• bird and pollinator friendly planting design

• bioswales / rain gardens / phyto-forward

• lawn alternative / low-mow native grasses

• protection of existing / healthy trees

• pervious and porous surfaces

• definitely more - the list grows

Some of Prototype’s practice areas include:

• residential; single-family and multifamily

• green infrastructure elements

• streetscape design and improvements

• commercial development

• site remediation

• adaptive reuse

• parks and recreation

• historic documentation (HALS)

• grant application support

• probably other things - get in touch, let’s talk
