Goode Landscape Studio (GOODE) is a multi-disciplinary studio offering professional design services in landscape architecture, master planning, climate resilience, public art, wayfinding, and design research. The studio is led by Courtney Goode, RLA, ASLA. She is a licensed landscape architect with over ten years of experience and is committed to creating engaging, sustainable, and equitable environments. GOODE helps its clients meet unprecedented challenges like adapting to climate change and improving access and equity in public space. The firm is a collaborative of highly imaginative, passionate, and technically skilled designers. Building trust, fostering creativity, and continuous learning are all foundational to the studio ethos. GOODE works closely with a team of experienced technical and design advisers as an extra measure toward success. While their exact creative process varies between projects, it always begins with listening to the community, their clients, and the land. The results are stunning, authentic, and unforgettable landscapes that are ecologically resilient and socially responsible.

GOODE is dedicated to fostering diversity and equity in our design process and the spaces we create. We take issue with the term, ‘inclusion’, and have intentionally not addressed it. Fostering and supporting diverse perspectives is foundational to our ethos. It is an area of constant reflection and improvement for us as creatives and leaders. We believe that a design approach informed by diverse lived experiences, whether race, culture, gender, or other formative lifeways, will result in unparalleled creativity, empathy, and design excellence. In order to tackle some of the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time, we must shift perspective. Designing for diverse visitors and communities is a big part of our work, and requires listening and considering a multitude of polyphonic opinions. We love polyphony, we love complexity, and we deeply value diversity.

Goode Landscape Studio is proud to be a Certified WBE.
