Why Work at Spackman Mossop Michaels
Over the last 15 years SMM has established itself as a leading practice of landscape architecture and urban design with offices in New Orleans and Sydney. We design landscape strategies that respond deeply to context- ecological, cultural, and economic- integrating people and the environment. Our work ranges from park and open space design to community revitalization and planning to large scale infrastructural work, with a focus on sustainable and ecologically sensitive design.
SMM aspires to cultivate environmentally and culturally responsive landscapes and make cities more livable. We primarily work in the public realm and are focused on connecting with communities as a foundational part of our design process. As landscape architects we are on the front lines of climate change and our practice was founded in the work of rebuilding New Orleans’ neighborhoods after Hurricane Katrina. We believe that civic spaces should be inclusive, dynamic and authentic to the local culture and environment. They should inspire us, entertain us, offer places for recreation and relaxation, bring people together and function as the heart of a community. We believe landscapes are a living continuum and intentional design begins with the future in mind.
