We are a community of designers who create architecture and environments sensitive to context, time and place.
We believe that designing for resilience requires living with water® and building with nature.
We see places as a continuum from building details to regional watersheds. Our Living With Water® approach to planning and community engagement has catalyzed resilience efforts in cities across the U.S. and abroad.
Featured LWW Projects:
Resilient Hampton

We have to let gravity and nature work. We have to let water be where it needs to be. Our solution is inherently natural.

After Hurricane Katrina, Waggonner & Ball established a series of workshops to address water challenges through a collaborative and holistic approach that aimed to increase value as well as safety at multiple scales. From there, workshops have become an integral portion in thinking strategically for a community.
