About the Company

I founded Square One Studio last year with a philosophy that is based on my strong
commitment and dedication to the essential principles of design process and
communication, environmental and social responsibility, and providing the highest possible
quality of services to my clients.  What that means to me?















Though the company is in it's infancy, as Square One's Principal and Owner, I feel there
exists a tremendous opportunity to provide quality landscape architecture and design services
that adhere to the philosophy that has inspired Square One's creation - that every project can
be done well, can be done with a certain sensitivity and responsibility, and can ultimately be
a source of positive experiences.

In my 12 years of professional design experience I have been fortunate to have the
opportunity to work with many wonderful design professionals, consultants, and clients.  
Through these relationships I've also had the opportunity to direct and manage many
exciting, challenging, and visible projects in the area.  It is through the experience gained
via these projects and relationships that I expect to carve a niche for this company that will
allow me to accomplish the goals set forth in my company's philosophical mission, my
mission.

Sincerely,
Michael W. Wall
Principal/Landscape Architect
