Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects

Reed Hilderbrand is a landscape architecture firm with an office in Cambridge’s Central Square that has practiced since the mid-1990s. It approaches landscape architecture as an art of purposeful transformation, working with artists, architects, businesses, curators, landowners, political leaders and urban developers on landscapes of cultural significance. Its projects range from city parks and museum grounds to university campuses and botanical gardens in the United States and abroad.

Notable work includes the renewal of Theodore Roosevelt Park at the American Museum of Natural History, designed alongside the museum’s new Gilder Center, where the firm drew on the romantic strolling paths of Calvert Vaux’s original design and tripled the size of the main entrance. Other projects include Longwood Gardens Reimagined in Pennsylvania, Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park, the Storm King Art Center welcome sequence and Duke University’s West Campus.
