Ranking #4 Among Massachusetts’ Largest Landscape Architecture Firms
The Boston Business Journal has released their 2024 list of the largest Landscape Architecture firms in Massachusetts, ranked by in-state project revenue. We are proud to have our practice, Halvorson | Tighe & Bond Studio, rank as the fourth largest in the Commonwealth.
Our practice, led by Vice President Bob Uhlig, FASLA, incorporates a passionate, creative team of landscape architects and designers, working collaboratively across our lines of service to deliver thoughtful and sustainable open spaces.
Our recent award-winning landscape architecture projects include:
Bristol County Agricultural High School
The renovations to the 270-acre campus, led by HMFH Architects, were supported by extensive landscape design work by Halvorson | Tighe & Bond Studio which thoughtfully integrated both existing and new buildings within the school’s setting as a working farm.
The transformation of the campus included several new buildings on North Campus, including the Center for Science and the Environment, Dairy Barn, and Student Commons. South Campus also received an extensive redesign, with new landscaped features and an Arbor/Landscape workshop. The campus landscape connects North and South Campuses with an accessible pedestrian corridor, while promoting outdoor interaction and education with new plazas, a lawn amphitheater, and hands-on growing areas.
Huntington Shopping Center
The shopping center was transformed from a strip mall into an upscale retail destination that stands out as a unique shopping experience intended for everyday needs. We served as landscape architecture consultant, designing new ornamental planting beds to separate shopping areas from adjacent driveways, seating areas with decorative fountains, and other sculptural elements that create welcome surprises in the landscape. Shoppers are welcomed to the plaza with a cluster of Ginkgo trees and a prominent sign feature, creating a one-of-a-kind feel for this retail center.
Thomson Place Plaza
The design for Thomson Place thoughtfully incorporates features reflecting the industrial heritage of the neighborhood, from original timber beams salvaged from the buildings’ renovations, which were transformed into seating for the new pedestrian plaza, to new metal stanchions that recall the nearby Summer Street Bridge spanning Fort Point Channel. Halvorson designed the new plaza, with plantings, paving, catenary lighting and a custom wooden screen.
