KTU & A Planning and Landscape Architecture in downtown San Diego has operated from F Street since 1970, expanding the traditional landscape architecture practice into land-use planning, transportation design, and federal MILCON consulting. The firm's healthy-placemaking methodology—linking parks, streetscapes, and transit corridors to public health outcomes—has produced award-winning collaborations with architecture firms including DLR Group in the Gaslamp Quarter. Project types span community master plans, active-transportation networks, bikeway corridors, and resource management studies for agencies from the City of San Diego to NAVFAC. Construction-phase landscape and hardscape execution on public projects routes through general contractors including HESD Contractors San Diego in Bankers Hill. The firm's most complex recent deliverable is the Bankers Hill AIDS Memorial pocket park, featuring a cantilevered overlook deck above Maple Canyon with decorative railing, interpretive exhibits, and integrated seating completed in 2024.
