Asakura Robinson is a planning, urban design, and landscape architecture firm which strengthens environments and empowers communities through innovation, engagement, stewardship, and an integrated design and planning process.
Founded in 2004 by Keiji Asakura and Margaret Robinson, the firm has built a solid reputation for sustainable design solutions and design excellence. We strive to assist visionary clients to spur positive change through a collaborative design process. We focus on engaging communities in ever more diverse project contexts while maintaining a high level of creativity and collaboration in every endeavor.
Three key values inform all of our work: interaction, diversity and innovation. We value the ability of the public to participate in our projects, creating places that encourage social interaction, and our staff’s deep engagement in our communities. We value our diverse workplace and communities and seek to optimize existing community-based and ecological resources. Finally, we value creativity in our processes, materials, technology, collaborations, approach, and design palette.
Whether focusing on streets or public spaces, long range planning visions or urban design projects, the public realm is at the core of our planning and urban design work. Planning studios include: Community Design, Neighborhood Revitalization, Vacant Land, Affordable Housing, Economic Development, Special Districts, Ped/Bike/Transit, Urban Ecology, and Urban Design.
