At Terraform Design Lab, we understand that successful master planning is about creating a cohesive vision that guides the development of spaces over time. Our team, led by Brandon Kern and Jessica Plies, brings extensive experience and a deep commitment to sustainability to every master planning project. Located in Long Island, NY, we have been providing innovative and environmentally responsible solutions since 1998.

Comprehensive Site Analysis

Our master planning services begin with a thorough analysis of the site. We evaluate the physical, environmental, and regulatory conditions to understand the opportunities and constraints. This comprehensive assessment allows us to create a foundation for informed decision-making throughout the planning process.

Key Services:

  • Site Surveys and Mapping
  • Environmental Impact Studies
  • Zoning and Land Use Analysis
  • Infrastructure and Utilities Assessment

Visioning and Concept Development

Working collaboratively with stakeholders, we develop a clear and compelling vision for the project. Our team facilitates workshops and design charrettes to gather input and generate creative ideas. We then translate these ideas into conceptual plans that reflect the aspirations and goals of the community.
