About MSP. Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP) was formed in to provide a full range of landscape design se rvices conceived and executed at the highest artis tic level possible. Over the years, our practice has evolved from providing landscape design services primarily for private sector urban environments to l arge-scale public projects, land reclamation, and p lanning studies. MSP has offices in Cambridge, M assachusetts and London, UK. MSP's philosophy recognizes that we, as a world community, now generally live within built environ ments; therefore, the quality of the design of these built environments affects, in large part, the quality of our existence. Additionally, as we see ourselves as part of "nature," aesthetics are a necessary co mponent of environmentalism. The aesthetic qualit y, or design, of our environments will determine th eir success and relevance to our respective cultur es.

About MSP. At MSP, our designs synthesize complex social issues with the requi rements of environmentally sound practice; however, in keeping with our office's design philosophy, we also bring a strong aesthetic focus to each project. While knowing that every project must be solved at an ecological level, MSP goes beyond each site's technical requirem ents to search for aesthetic solutions that in turn create value, a sen se of identity, and determine the sustainability of a landscape. With our considerable talent and experience, MSP brings this balanc e between environmental practice and aesthetics to national and int ernational projects ranging in scale and scope from public plazas, p arks, master plans, urban redevelopment, reclamation, and mixed-u se developments to art commissions and private residences.
