The firm prides itself on fostering a collaborative working relationship with clients and design teams, ensuring that the final designs are not only creative but also enduring, avoiding a mundane appearance as seasons change. With significant expertise in both large-scale and smaller landscape architectural projects for residential and commercial clients, TEN55 Design excels at analyzing and solving design challenges that align with each client's specific goals and desires.
The design team, led by founding Principal John Thompson, brings a wealth of experience developed over more than 13 years at renowned landscape architecture firms in Dallas, where John worked on diverse projects including commercial, institutional, corporate, municipal, resort, and residential landscapes across the United States and internationally. His background equips him with the skills necessary to understand and articulate intricate design elements, such as site grading, plant materials, and construction details, allowing each project to come together in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing manner.
John's leadership guides projects through all phases— including schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration—resulting in cohesive and creatively unified built environments. Inspired by his family and his love for nature activities like hiking, camping, and fly fishing, John integrates these influences into his design philosophy. With TEN55 Design, clients can expect a dedication to quality and a commitment to enhancing outdoor spaces that harmonize with the surrounding natural landscapes.
