Baker Barrios is nationally recognized for its planning ability to transform projects into genuine places. We are devoted to the planning and design of buildings and places of enduring quality that create memorable experiences and enrich the cities and communities we serve. Our approach to placemaking begins with engaging the project stakeholders to create a defined vision for the future of their campus through a prescriptive planning and envisioning process. Once established, our team guides the placemaking process by addressing uses and activities, access and linkages, comfort and image, and social conditions. We utilize proven placemaking principles to define the project’s character and to shape and activate spaces with a focus on usability, function, comfort and aesthetics.

Usability
As we envision a place’s future, we consider the full possibilities of its utility.
Function
Designing with intent ensures that places are as functional as they are beautiful.
Comfort
In planning and designing urban areas, we’re also designing experiences.
Aesthetics
Well-planned design is an art form on its own, but we take extra steps to ensure the final product is equally striking.
