Stephen Stimson Associates, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Edward Marshall, of Stephen Stimson Associates, received his nomination, in Works, from the Boston Society. Marshall choreographs the elements of his composition-grading, sight lines, planting and context-through a disciplined economy of materials and frugal simplicity of forms. He believes an uncluttered landscape allows users to take ownership of a site. From residential gardens to municipal parks and campuses, he employs continuity, scale and sense of place to shape the design concept. Marshall's craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect his belief that elegant and imaginative design should infuse all levels of a project. Within his firm he is committed to a collaborative design process and a culture of mentorship, serving as an inspiration for young designers. His landscapes are vibrant and expressive, uniting sustainability with craft to create environments that heighten awareness with four seasons of beauty.
