On Wednesday and Thursday, 9 placemaking experts gathered at the Workforce Innovation Skills Hub (W.I.S.H.) at the Hybla Valley Community Center for a Technical Assistance Panel to help guide placemaking efforts along the Richmond Highway Corridor. The Panel was impressed by the stakeholders’ passion for placemaking strategies that are authentic and strategic and support local businesses. After two days of deliberations, the Panel presented its recommendations for a replicable approach to placemaking that prioritized the identity and local experience of the 5 CBCs along the corridor and promoted unity through connection. Thank you so much to our wonderful Panel Chair Nkosi Yearwood, our panelists Nastasia Buckley, Connie Fan, Maria Lashinger, P.E., PTOE, Ellen McCarthy, Anna McCorvey, RA, Rob Meeks, Shane Pomajambo, Steven Segerlin, and our sponsor Evan Kaufman with the Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation (SFDC), and JoAnne Fiebe, Elizabeth Hagg, and Nicholas Rinehart from Fairfax County for their invaluable support in making this TAP come to fruition!

Transformative place-making. Superior services.
About us
LSG is a Women, Minority Owned Small Business. Established in 1985, LSG believes in place making that is smart, sustainable, creative, and transformational. Our expertise includes master planning, site design, environmental assessments, and landscape architecture. Our portfolio includes projects throughout the Eastern Seaboard, China, and India. Our design approach embraces the notion that we can say something new while maintaining a dialogue with the past. Whether we are seeking to enliven, guide, heal, educate, or inspire, our goal is to create engaging sense of place in which to live, work, or play, because, above all, landscape architecture is a social construct. Whether the aesthetic vision is shaped by the dictates of urbanity or driven by a more pastoral imperative, the result should be informed and elevated by something larger.

Thank you, Sanika for all your hard work and curiosity this summer! We wish you the very best as you head back to school!
Very recently I completed my summer internship for the year 2023 at LSG Landscape Architecture. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Amol Deshpande, RLA, AICP, LEED Green Associate and Connie Fan for giving me this opportunity. The time I spent at the firm was enriching and helped me grow as a designer in many ways. The scope of work that I was involved in was new and a great learning exercise. I was assigned a variety of tasks like #3dmodeling, #rendering, drafting of details, working on #specifications and also #liaising with people in the field. The internship was a wholesome experience and gave me a taste of all the processes that go towards the completion of a project from its initiation. As an architectural student I was aware of some skills which I was able to harness, along with understanding the requirements of landscaping in a project and its various aspects and details that need to be looked into for a project to be complete. The work environment, encouragement and the positive feedback were key factors to making this internship a memorable experience.

Connie Fan, President and Principal of LSG Landscape Architecture, Inc., Elected to Prestigious American Society of Landscape Architects Council of Fellows “This year's class of ASLA Fellows has made outstanding contributions to people's health, safety, and welfare; environmental sustainability and climate resilience; and stronger communities,” says ASLA President Emily O’Mahoney Tysons, Virginia. (July 10, 2023) – The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) announced the election of Connie Fan of LSG Landscape Architecture, Inc. as one of 48 ASLA Fellows. ASLA Fellows are recognized for their exceptional contributions to the landscape architecture profession. Election to the ASLA Council of Fellows is among the highest honors the ASLA bestows on members and is based on their works, leadership/management, knowledge and service. Connie Fan is nominated in Works by the Potomac Chapter. As the president of LSG Landscape Architecture, an award-winning 37-year-old metropolitan Washington, DC, area design practice, Connie Fan’s work emphasizes site-specific design details and thoughtful planting strategies to achieve sustainable, well-loved spaces. Whether seeking to enliven, guide, heal, educate, or inspire, her goal is always to create engaging places in which to live, work, and play. She has won design awards for large medical campuses and office parks; for high-end housing and affordable housing projects; for active senior communities and gardens for memory care patients; and for private schools and playgrounds in low-income neighborhoods. Her career has been shaped by a strong interest in healthcare projects, including hospitals, continuing care retirement centers, and facilities for the aging, frail, and mentally challenged population, specializing in biophilic, people-centric designs. Connie’s portfolio includes: The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Research Campus, Loudoun, VA, a master plan for the 689-acre live-work facility weaving the natural setting and acclaimed architecture into a seamless design that fosters collaboration among scientists; Ashby Ponds Continuing Care Retirement Community, Loudoun County, VA, a master plan for the 132-acre site surrounding the Virginia Piedmont landscape, with three neighborhoods knit together with native species and plant groupings; and The Signature at Reston Town Center, Reston, VA, uniting the new President’s Park to Reston Town Center and the greater Reston Area trail network with a cascading waterfall and lush planting.
