For over five decades, SWA Group has been recognized as a world design leader in landscape architecture, planning and urban design. Our projects have received over 600 awards and have been showcased in over 60 countries. Our principals are among the industry’s most talented and experienced designers and planners. Emerging in 1959 as the West Coast office of Sasaki,Walker and Associates, the firm first assumed the SWA Group name in 1975. Despite being one of the largest firms of its type in the world, SWA is organized into smaller studio-based offices that enhance creativity and client responsiveness. Over 75% of our work has historically come from repeat clients. In addition to bringing strong aesthetic, functional, and social design ideas to our projects, we’re also committed to integrating principles of environmental sustainability. At the core of our work is a passion for imaginative, solution-oriented design that adds value to land, buildings, cities, regions, and to people’s lives.
