Fischer Bouma Partnership

Fischer Bouma Partnership is an experienced, responsive small firm focused on landscape architecture and community planning located on Bainbridge Island, a short ferry ride from Seattle, WA. We design enduring places informed by place, culture and people. We consider the site’s history and the processes that have and will continue to shape the land; recognizing that our work is only one of many interventions over time. Stories, culture and values matter. Through thoughtful analysis and engagement processes we gain a deep understanding of the design challenge. Understanding the natural ecology often leads to creative solutions that reinforce, restore or express the systems. Climate, water, soil, plants, and animals all interact dynamically to inuence our enduring solutions. Our solutions are meaningful, robust, beautiful and enduring. We design and plan private and public places, at a variety of scales – from intimate gardens to community plans. Our focus is on placemaking and creating community through thoughtful design, form giving and choosing and arranging the elements of the site to support the vision. We embrace a collaborative, idea driven process focused on outcomes that meet client and community expectations. We do not design to a particular style or trend; rather we apply our planning design and technical skill to deliver context sensitive, distinct and enduring solutions.
