Ekistics Design Studio forges a unique approach to planning where natural resources define the project framework and human issues are addressed at all scales. We are a Florida firm deeply in tune with the historical relevance of the climate, landform and architecture of the sub tropics. Our site analysis goes beyond identification of project limitations and we look for opportunities to leverage site constraints in creative ways to enhance the value of the project. Ekistics has over 25 years of experience in master planning mixed use and pedestrian scale development including a wide range of urban, suburban and new urbanist community designs. The planning for our projects incorporates the need for innovative stormwater management solutions from the earliest stages of conceptualization and recognizes that efficient open space planning involves stormwater, wetlands and other site features into a seamless element. In the quest for projects of sustainability and beauty, functionality is always the underlying theme. Efficient land use and development yield is crucial to economic viability and thereby the practicality of our solutions.
