Some projects are professional milestones. Others are deeply personal.

For more than two decades, we’ve had the privilege of helping shape the ongoing modernization of San Diego High School, one of the city’s most historic campuses.

What began as a campus-wide master plan has evolved into a transformative effort to reconnect nearly 150 years of history through revitalized gathering spaces, upgraded athletic facilities, and a cohesive vision for the future.

We’re honored to help preserve the legacy of this landmark campus while creating spaces that will serve generations of students to come.

How are changing behaviors reshaping the built environment?

In our latest roundtable discussion, the McCullough team explores how landscape architecture, environmental planning, and urban design must evolve as the lines between home, work, and community continue to blur.

From the rise of intentional third spaces to shifting expectations around housing, amenities, flexibility, and wellness, the conversation looks at what it means to design for the way people actually live today and what comes next. 🌿

Breaking ground on the future of student housing.

Last week, our team joined partners and community leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new 316-bed student housing community at the campus for the San Mateo County Community College District.

Proud to collaborate with the team on a project designed to support student success, connection, and accessibility for years to come.

Swipe through for moments from the celebration including our Senior Associate and Project Manager, Mahalakshmi Balachandran with project partners, and local leaders.

Come along with us to celebrate Earth Day the best way we know how… in nature! 🌿🥾

As landscape designers, protecting the earth isn’t just an April 22nd thing, it’s literally our job. And today we celebrated by doing what we love most: getting outside and soaking it all in. 🌎

Fun fact: Earth Day started on April 22, 1970, inspired by public outrage over the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill. Over 50 years later, we’re still showing up for the planet!

Happy Earth Day from our team to yours ✨

Design Details of the Week: Twenty by Six
A fresh take on downtown office design 🌿

Twenty by Six transforms a Financial District site into a layered experience—featuring a rooftop garden, elevated courtyard, and a connected promenade below.

Thoughtful design brings light, landscape, and moments of pause into every level.

Big win for a project we’re incredibly proud of 🎉

Topaz Mixed-Use Student Housing has been awarded “Best Implementation of Mixed-Use” at the Student Housing Business Awards in Austin, TX.

What was once an old drive-thru and strip center is now a vibrant space designed for student living, connection, and convenience—bringing housing and everyday essentials together in a way that truly serves students.

Grateful to be part of a team that continues to reimagine what these spaces can be. Huge congratulations to our partners at and the entire project team!
