Week 4: Action Through Impact

Everyday life is better when the landscapes around us do more.

At the Presidio of San Francisco, Carducci Associates is helping transform everyday open space into something more resilient, accessible, and rooted in ecology. This landscape renewal replaces traditional turf with native plant communities that support habitat, reduce water use, and bring seasonal character to the park.

A place designed for well-being goes beyond aesthetics - new walking paths and low-impact stormwater strategies create spaces that are healthier for both people and the environment. These updates don’t just look good - they improve how the park functions every day.

Week2: Action through Practice

Good design starts on the ground.

Site visits, field measurements, and observing how a place functions are essential steps in the design process.

These early visits help inform grading, drainage, planting, and how people will move through a space.

Understanding the site is what allows ideas to become successful places.

From early concepts shaping the overall form of Don Biddle Community Park to refining details on site, every line carries forward into how the park performs, feels, and endures.

From sketch to site - this is landscape architecture taking shape.

Celebrating 10 amazing years of Monty at Carducci Associates!

Monty brings calm, curiosity, and thoughtful insight to everything he does.

His steady presence, creativity, and dedication have shaped not just our designs, but our team culture too.

For Monty, the best reward is seeing people enjoy the spaces he helps create and his advice to young landscape architects is simple: stay curious, keep learning, and embrace every challenge.

The reimagined Quad at Menlo-Atherton High School creates a dynamic outdoor gathering space that supports both daily student life and special events. At its center, a tree-framed lawn sits flush with surrounding paving to encourage easy movement and flexible use. An elevated forum provides space for performances and speakers, complemented by terraced seating, shaded lunch groves, picnic breakout areas for informal connection, and site lighting shown in dark blue. Excited to see this space come alive with students, events, and everyday moments.
