Canin Associates believes great ideas and great placemaking merge when connections are made to the regional context, vernacular architecture and the cultural heritage of a region. Our 65-person, 26-year old interdisciplinary firm of idea-based professionals is committed to creating sustainable resort and mixed-use communities that enrich the quality of life and are wonderful places to live, work or visit.
Our urban planning, landscape architecture and architectural design studios focus on the planning and design of resorts, new towns, villages, town centers, and mixed-use developments.
We value designs that will establish balance and harmony with the natural environment while remaining flexible enough to meet changing conditions. We are strong advocates of placemaking as a way to add value and create timeless solutions that are authentic, viable and sustainable. We provide our clients with one point of contact from the start of the design process through implementation. We are a design and research firm. We successfully define best practices and develop solution-oriented strategies that result in a balance between our communities, the region and the environment.
The underlying philosophy of the firm and its principals is to function as effective team leaders and continually strive to integrate and enhance the best ideas of all those involved in our ventures.
