Design Approach
Our design approach considers the ritual of experiencing the built environment with an aim towards creating a comfortable and engaging relationship with exterior space. Our team focuses on revealing opportunities through a site-specific lens and constantly weighs the long term viability of our design interventions. We have been privileged to work on an enormous variety of project types, contributing to a robust understanding of design and programming priorities across different scales and contexts. The lessons learned from this broad range of experience have positioned us with a keen ability to innovate by carrying insights from one genre to another.
Process
Our communal studio workroom is a place for research, experimentation, instruction, and collaboration. Within this environment our team explores the notions of purity, clarity, and identity in every project. We draw inspiration from great works of design, literature, and art and continually refine our methodology to yield the best possible solution for each of our commissions.

Meet Our TeamBurton Gallery
Burton Studio has long been known for its support and integration of public art, including sculpture, mixed media and fine art elements in its projects. By establishing Burton Gallery, the company has developed relationships with artists and craftspeople working in multiple mediums such as metal, concrete, glass, fiberglass and bronze. This highly skilled assemblage allows Burton Studio to specify unique, site-specific works, including fountains and custom fabrications. These details individualize projects and add richness to the overall design. In addition to specific project art, the Studio’s in-house gallery displays fine art painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography for inspiration.
