PLAID collaborative

PLAID collaborative is a design-oriented, multi-layered practice. We work at all scales…from comprehensive site master plans to themed outdoor spaces to custom site furniture. We approach every project in a hands-on fashion--with sleeves rolled up--typically assisting our clients from the initial master-planning phase through completion of project construction. We value the expectations of our clients and the input of the project team, and we thrive in a team-oriented environment. P.LA.ID’s portfolio includes planning, landscape architecture, and industrial design projects--each of which emphasizes a high level of design, user comfort, site sensitivity, and sustainability. P.LA.ID’s principals, Rick Howell, ASLA, PLA, LEEDap, and Brett Payton, ASLA, PLA, share a passion for collaborating with clients to achieve well-conceived, contextually appropriate, and timeless design solutions. Both have played important roles in the design and implementation of local, regional, national, and international projects.
