design cohort is a creative practice led by multidisciplinary artist & award-winning landscape architect, Drew Carman.
The Mueller Development, Austin Texas
design cohort works at the intersection of
landscape architecture, public art, and design.
-
This is our bread and butter. We have two decades of experience leading teams of engineers, architects and other professionals in developing parks, trails and public open space projects.
Our services include master planning, schematic design, construction documentation, cost estimating, bid and construction phase services.
-
From urban design to residential, our design approach focuses on two things: connecting people with the outdoors, and connecting people with each other.
-
We develop and implement public (and private) art commissions ranging from murals & mosaics to sculptural installations, public engagement activations, and everything inbetween. We love working closely with Architects, Interior Designers, Engineers and other Landscape Architects to develop site specific art alongside their design process.
Principal, Drew Carman, also accepts fine art commissions for portraiture and expressive realism works in oil.
