Spurlock Landscape Architects

Happy hour with a view for a bon vayage celebration.

Parker grew up playing outside in sunny San Diego. The hiking trails and beaches connected him to the magic of our ecosystem. His first work experience was in a marine biology lab at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. A student of the living world, Parker graduated with a biomechanical engineering degree from Harvard College in 2019. During his studies, he took studio courses at the Graduate School of Design.

“During a summer program in Paris that blended biology and urbanism, my favorite professor, Robert Lue, guided me to understand the urban ecosystem as a living organism, an interconnected system. Since this introduction to the world of urbanism, I have been inspired to better understand the various systems that compose the greater whole of a thriving city with hopes of designing and cultivating a more efficient, healthy, and harmonious landscape.”

We are testing out a new method for planting a naturalized meadow at Park Place in Irvine! We are collaborating with to plant drought tolerant grasses that are adapted to the Southern California climate.

UCSD Ridge Walk is in the final stages of construction!

Scroll through to see how we approached user experience and identity on the UCSD campus.

We designed nodes at points of public facilities, building entries, gathering spaces, and college identity that are connected by elements such as a new bike path, lighting, trees, wood, and stormwater.

The new multimodal paths provide central circulation through campus gathering areas, a large flexible lawn and hammock seating within eucalyptus groves.

Currently doing a site inventory for a new project in Mira Mesa for an office building renovation. We will be creating a new entry to the building where employees can enjoy their lunch or relax on a break. We will also be adding a roof terrace as a conference and social space.

We are so excited about the progress on the Children’s Park seatwall. The stepped wall integrates layers of colored concrete and aggregate accents giving it a unique texture that is inspired by nature.

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous new year!
