Murphy Plywood Headquarters

Abstract

For this new two-story office headquarters located in Eugene, Oregon, SD designed a modern, minimalist landscape plan to complement the architectural style and provide visual interest throughout the year. SD’s goal was to create an inviting, attractive, and lush environment for guests and employees. An outdoor patio space with comfortable furnishings, and additional amenities including a fire table and grill encourages employees to spend more time outside. We also developed designs for tree-lined walking paths, and low-maintenance vegetated rain gardens.

Drifts of low ornamental grasses, swoops of native plants, and an allee of jacquemontii birch are key plantings in the design.
