Company Profile
Studio Brown, Inc.
Company Overview
Studio Brown (formerly known as Brown Sardina, Inc.) is a thriving woman-owned landscape architecture studio based in Boston, MA.
We're a multi-generational team of designers, planners, and technicians, bringing foundational wisdom and fresh perspectives to our work. You can see it in our studio: a lively, collaborative environment where seasoned expertise and new ideas push each other forward. The work is grounded in connection: with our history, with each other, with our clients, and with the communities that will be impacted by our work in the future.
We bring a holistic approach to every project, considering the surrounding context, community needs, and grading and site planning. We collaborate closely with clients to steward their aspirations and resources, as well as the natural ecosystems impacted by our design. This results in landscapes that are rooted in their place, embraced by the community, resilient, and sustainable.
We focus on creating vibrant, inviting spaces that feel intuitive and inclusive for everyone. We advocate for accessibility and work within budgets to scale solutions that remove as many barriers as possible, enabling people to experience the natural world.
Natalie Brown leads the studio with a perspective shaped by her experience as a person with dyslexia, which affects not only her work but also how the entire studio operates. Reading a site as a whole picture before arriving at the details results in a design that is deeply attuned to its surroundings—paying close attention to the people who will use a space results in stronger connections to the natural world. And understanding that everyone processes information differently makes us more attuned to clients and more intentional about how ideas are communicated and explored. That same empathy extends into the community, where Natalie is a strong advocate for neurodivergent students and their learning environments. This effort sits at the heart of our growing work on outdoor classrooms and other learning environments.?
