At Project Samsara, design is not a linear checklist; it’s a living cycle. Our work unfolds across seasons of listening, gathering, imagining, and tending. Each project is rooted in rhythm. Each offering is part of a regenerative whole.
The Samsara Cycle guides our approach to place-based, community-led landscape design. Nothing exists in isolation. Research is not separate from care, and beauty is never separate from impact.
We move through four fluid phases. And wherever you are in your journey, we can meet you there.
The Samsara Cycle
