Klopfer Martin Design Group, Boston

In nearly twenty-five years of practice, Kaki Martin's career has focused on design that supports community, while creating unique, highly crafted places. From the scale of the urban streetscape, the intimate neighborhood park, or the community-wide destination park, Kaki has transformed neighborhoods with designs that demonstrate a mastery of the art, stewardship, and social responsibility of landscape architecture. Her built work exemplifies strategic thinking and a collaborative approach to the design process, transforming sites and creating influential models of design excellence, primarily in the public sector. Kaki is an editorial board member of Architecture Boston, a board member of the Community Design Resource Center, and president-elect of the BSLA. Through teaching, serving on local commissions, participating in local and national workshops, Kaki is a mentor and strong advocate for the next generation of landscape architects. Her work has been recognized across disciplines, including architecture, historic preservation, and planning. Among her successes are award-winning projects such as the Steel Yard, Providence, RI; Fisher Hill Reservoir Park, Brookline, MA; and Central Square, East Boston, MA.
