We design places where people want to live their lives – outdoors.

At Elements Studio, we transform the ordinary by:

  • Communicating clearly and promptly with the project owner and other design team members
  • Understanding the complex character of the project site and the neighboring community
  • Celebrating the building’s architecture with complimentary exterior spaces
  • Ensuring that site elements function well together to simplify maintenance
  • Leveraging natural systems to improve human health
  • Developing beautiful design solutions that create the context for refreshing daily experiences and weekend getaways

Meet Our Team

As the Senior Project Manager for The View on Collins, I had the privilege of working with Elements Studio for the landscaping and hardscaping of this high-end apartment complex. Elements was able to find a way to incorporate every expectation the owner had for high end design, married it with budget feasibility, and worked with us as the CM for constructability. Working with Elements was/is a breath of fresh air. Their dedication to open, transparent communication and budget transparency is unprecedented. They will deliver what they say they will deliver, when they say they will deliver it. Do yourselves a favor and hire Elements Studio – it’s a decision you will never regret.

Elements Studio was our selection to make our vision for a new church patio become a reality.  Their attention to detail and innovative thinking exceeded even our high expectations. The entire congregation is now enjoying what has become a showpiece for the entire community.  Thank you for all your efforts.

The Entrance Garden is a beautifully designed space that immediately welcomes visitors with vibrant colors and thoughtful plantings. Despite its compact size, it feels expansive and inviting, thanks to its clever layout. The benches are perfectly placed for rest and reflection, making the garden not only visually appealing but also highly functional. After the church service, our whole family—grandparents included—gathers in the garden before heading home. Our young children laugh and run in circles along the brick path, filling the space with life and joy.

We had the privilege of working with Elements Studio on a park project for our neighborhood and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, they took the time to listen to our values, vision, and hopes for the space. Their ability to translate those into a thoughtful, beautiful design was truly remarkable. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated professionalism, care, and a genuine commitment to serving us. The final design exceeded our expectations and has become a powerful reflection of who we are as a church. We are deeply grateful for their work and would highly recommend Elements Studio to anyone looking for excellence in landscape design.

Elements Studio provided landscape design services for our headquarters in East Lansing, MI.  We worked with Jonathan Faasse on the project and were very pleased with his design.  He also worked with us through the contractor selection and installation to be sure we were satisfied with the end product.  Excellent firm.

Every day I receive positive comments from my patients regarding our beautifully landscaped office. Patients look forward to seeing the different species bloom throughout the season and are uplifted by the blaze of color and our bubbling water feature.
