Otak

Our drive to make positive change in our communities is about more than just technical work-it's equally from the deep personal connection we all have to the places we work-which happens for us to be place we live and play as well. As a leading planning, design, sustainable engineering, and project management firm, we bring our expertise to natural and built environments across the United States, making them more vibrant, beautiful, and functional. Since our founding in 1981, our urban designers, architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects, surveyors, and project managers have demonstrated that it is possible to be both practical and innovative.

Landscape architecture is much more than the finished result-it supports an integrated, interdisciplinary process that leads to the best solutions. Our landscape architects are listeners as much as we are designers. We listen to clients and communities, and we design landscapes, spaces, and places that meet everyone's needs. Because we work at the nexus of people and place, we understand people and how they interact and experience the landscape, and we are experts at designing at a human scale. We connect people and places in ways that enrich their quality of life, and we promote environmental stewardship by preserving, enhancing, and blending with natural settings.

Our architecture practice prioritizes creative, sustainable design that is timeless in both durability and style. We know successful communities develop from responsible growth, so we're committed to balancing the long-term needs of neighborhoods with unique designs that are beautiful, modern, and functional. Whether we're working on a community building or transit center, our purpose remains the same: we want to design spaces where you'll love to be. We understand the important role your surroundings play in defining your days, and we don't take that responsibility lightly.

Whether your project is on land or part of a water system, in a public park or private development, down the highway or in the center of an urban landscape, Otak provides the services you need to bring your vision - for your community and its future - to life. Our multidisciplinary team brings deep knowledge across every facet of a project, ensuring you receive the highest level of expertise and service from concept to completion.

Most projects are filled with risks and challenges; we have a knack for turning them into opportunities. As water resource engineers and scientists, our job is to plan and engineer your project to benefit the community and enhance the environment. Whether we're asked to manage a drainage issue in an urban setting, recommend solutions for improved fish passage or use natural systems design to help flood facilities perform better and remain resilient; our integrated approach helps solve many challenges at once.
