Troy Britt

Inspired by the metabolisms of urban and natural environments, Troy Britt’s passion for landscape architecture stems from exploring the relationships between natural history, community, and form. By engaging these systems through hand sketching, digital graphic visualization, and construction documentation, he addresses complex issues as opportunities for resilient designs that respond to surrounding context and the needs of the community. While working on projects in the Mountain-West region, he developed a keen interest in water conservation by understanding how native plant communities operate and provide important ecosystem services. This interplay between ecology and the built environment is the catalyst that drives his desire for improving climate resiliency in cities.

Originally from the Midwest, he joins GGN with several years professional experience in landscape architecture and urban design. Troy received his MLA from the University of Colorado in Denver and his BFA from Kansas State University. During his studies, Troy explored his interest in community-engaged designs that prioritize climate resilience and sustainable planning for new and existing developments. In 2018, Troy was the first recipient of the Dana Crawford Endowment for his efforts in equitable development and design for underserved communities in Denver, Colorado.

Troy is a SITES and EcoDistricts accredited professional and serves on the board committee for the Friends of Seattle Olmsted Parks. An avid outdoorsman, you will likely find him on a hiking trail or exploring the numerous public parks that enliven our cities.
