Land Planning Loci is a landscape architecture, land planning and urban design firm located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The firm is dedicated to creating healthy, livable cities and towns through the use of a rigorous and methodological design and planning process. This process considers the entire spectrum of influences on design expression and planning solutions including environmental considerations, transportation issues, social and cultural opportunities, and economic impacts. We believe this well-tested and p

roven approach to problem solving results in the best possible design and planning solutions which in turn results in meaningful places for people. Loci was founded by two brothers, Michael and Terrall Budge, in early 2014. Between them, they have deep professional experience with several nationally-recognized firms and have extensive national and international design experience on a range of different project types. Projects they have led range from large-scale new community planning to parks and open space planning and design; urban design and redevelopment to high-end residential gardens; institutional design and planning to constructed wetlands and lakes. Their clients come from both the public and private sectors including cities, redevelopment agencies, churches and universities, private developers, and architects. Loci is the plural form of the Latin word locus which means place. The sole objective of our firm is to create great and lasting places.

Our entry, Mesa Temple received the ASLA Utah Honor Award in the General Design category!

Historically seen as an oasis in the desert by members of the surrounding community, the Mesa Arizona Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has an iconic presence in the area that extends from its architecture for those who belong to the faith, to the use of its grounds by the community, and its outreach in the form of a free annual stage production celebrating Easter. The redesign for the temple grounds enhances this iconic status within the framework of a neo-classically-inspired design that restores prominence to the temple and improves the functionality of the site for daily use, the Easter celebration, and for the community generally. Simple, strong lines belie the complexity of the site program and make it legible, while a balance of human-scaled and grand spaces along with curated views, break the large site into a comprehensible experience.

Our entry, Terraine received an ASLA Utah Merit Award in the Analysis & Planning category!

The Salt Lake Valley has consistently been one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country for several decades. The impacts of this population boom are most keenly felt in the seemingly never-ending consumption of the valley’s natural resources, particularly its limited sources of water and its natural, delicate ecosystems.  Nearly 180 years of Manifest Destiny and making “the desert blossom as the rose” has resulted in a disjointed community character and near ecological disaster at the Great Salt Lake.  With another 600,000 people projected to live here by 2065, the Salt Lake Valley is in desperate need of a new approach to land development and ornamental landscape culture.  With an innovative approach to land planning and a wholesale rethinking of residential landscape design, Terraine will establish a new model for land development and stewardship in the Valley that draws upon and cooperates with the natural sage-land ecotypes endemic to the region.

Our entry, Lake Avenue South Park received an ASLA Utah Honor Award and The Award of Excellence!

Lake Avenue South Park (LASP) is a ½-mile long, 8.35-acre linear community park located in the 4,200-acre Daybreak community of South Jordan, Utah. It is the first built component of a 2.5-mile-long master-planned open space corridor that will connect the two major open space amenities of the community through the center of the emerging downtown. Being the first, it sets the standard that all other components of the corridor must meet.
Parks that can serve multiple purposes and function in multiple ways become the highest valued places in a community and will be preserved and sustained well into the future. LASP was designed to be a community connector; a recreation and re-creation destination; an environmentally-friendly green infrastructure corridor; an economic value creator; and, finally, a beautiful and unique place that is integrated into its context and recalls the natural patterns of perennial stream corridors of the American West.

Our entry, TheYard at Mark Steel received an ASLA Utah Merit Award in the Analysis and Planning category!

As the Wasatch Front’s population continues to rise and residential development continues to pave over agricultural fields and creep up into the surrounding foothills, the Salt Lake Valley finds itself seeking relief by looking harder at its aging and outdated industrial properties. TheYard at Mark Steel offers that relief by utilizing the site of an aging steel foundry to land 170 townhomes within 2 miles of downtown Salt Lake City. In doing so, TheYard also seeks to set a precedent for responsible industrial redevelopment by acknowledging the area’s industrial past through reuse of existing site materials, restoring native ecologies that have been degraded through industrial activities, and providing new publicly-accessible open space amenities for the surrounding community. As the first property to undergo redevelopment in the area, TheYard sets the standard for the transformation of the entire district by serving as a development model for improving under-utilized properties without the wholesale erasure of their collective industrial heritage.
