Joan Piccalo - The First Architect

Have you ever bought a property you love only to end up feeling completely disconnected from it? 

Before an architect or engineer joins a project team, I work one-on-one with the owner to overlay their wish list onto the property. This science-based approach guarantees the highest and best use of both the building and the land.

I specialize in integrating the building, the land, and the people who use both! This integration is the lens through which the world experiences architecture. Context is queen.

Hi, I’m Joan Piccalo, and I’m a registered design professional with 25 years in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry.

When project managers, architects, engineers, and contractors embrace the help of registered landscape architects on their Site and Grading Plans, they are using the best tools available to usher in the future of sustainable architecture. If you need an architect for the building, you need a landscape architect for the site!
