About Us

Linden Tree was conceived in late 2003 as an opportunity for a group of friends and associates to share with each other what they were most enthused about in their respective creative realms.  Using what was the new Sagan Piechota Architecture space on Linden St. as a venue, the original group of approximately 25 design / creative types came together and agreed that a monthly gathering would be desirable. 

For the the following years, a fabulous and diverse variety of individuals have shared with this growing community their work, process, and ideas in an open and casual and engaging format which has proven to be stimulating and inspiring.  Painters, writers, musicians, architects, industrial designers, printmakers, sculptors, glass artists, coffee roasters are a sampling of past presentations.

Linden Tree presentation: October 14th (at) 7pm

MUSEO DEL ACERO HORNO3, Monterey Mexico

A team of international designers collaborated to transform a decommissioned blast furnace and a brownfield site into a modern history museum dedicated to the region’s rich history of steel production.  Borrowing from materials endemic to the site, innovative landscape design weaves together with modern architecture to usher an old relic into the 21st century. Environmentally sensitive technologies — such as green roofs and a storm water collection system — offer a new approach to the landscape while respecting the original context.

Surfacedesign, INC. was established in 2001 to provide clients with a broad range of professional design services, including landscape architecture, urban design, and master planning.   The award-winning practice is engaged in projects of a variety of different scales, both locally and internationally:  estate design, park design, hospitality, corporate campuses, municipal streetscapes, and large-scale land use planning and urban design projects.  We create projects that have a strong relationship to people and the natural environment; we are passionate about craftsmanship and about creating sustainability.

Under the leadership of James a. Lord, Roderick Wyllie and Geoff di Girolamo, Surfacedesign is an innovative and multidisciplinary design practice, employing the talents of landscape designers, planners and architectural designers.  The artistry and durability of our work is the result of strong conceptual design, facility in working with materials and planting, and proven experience in project management and construction supervision.

Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you have resolved by way of your good site is a serious case, and those that could have in a negative way affected my career if I had not encountered your web site. Your primary understanding and kindness in handling all the things was important.
