At SGS Designs we approach design from the perspective of urban ecology. How do we balance the urban landscape, with the surrounding desert landscape? Our focus is on the creative use of environmental and social aspects of urban gardening. Rain water management and irrigation, native and low water use plants, and attracting wildlife are all essential to the design. Just as important are the social aspects of family, individualized spaces, food production, and accessibility options based on universal design.
