Parks & Open Space

Every day, we are building the communities we want to live in. Our reach is national, but our twelve metropolitan offices are focused across the Eastern United States, because this is where we’re from, and this is where we want to be.

MKSK plans and shapes the authentic, sustainable growth of cities and towns by honoring people, heritage, and place. We provide strategic guidance to address pressing challenges, ensuring thoughtful, lasting impact on communities.

MKSK recognizes the vital role of public and private investment in energizing cities. We design districts and sites that strategically maximize resources while honoring the integrity and character of each community.

MKSK establishes a unique and memorable sense of place that fosters learning, community, and belonging in primary, secondary, higher education, and corporate campus environments.

MKSK celebrates exploration, curiosity, and the unique character of each neighborhood, district, and institution. We collaborate with municipal, nonprofit, cultural, and institutional clients to transform communities into vibrant places of destination.

MKSK believes in the transformative power of place to support physical, mental, emotional well-being, and build a sense of community support. We plan and design communities and campuses that promote healthier lifestyles and positive health outcomes.

MKSK values the restorative and unifying power of parks and open spaces. We design inclusive networks and sites that serve as welcoming places for recreation, relaxation, and community connection.

MKSK views places of public gathering as the heart of our cities. We shape streets and plazas as dynamic connectors and centers of vitality.
