IMPLEMENT is a design-focused landscape architecture practice based in Columbus Ohio; the studio name speaks to our ambition and reflects the pragmatic values that have shaped the agricultural and industrial landscapes of our Midwestern context. Our work explores the potential of landscape to be a tool for creative change, community engagement, and dynamic place-making.
Lead by Design Principal Jason Kentner, the studio leverages its facility for conceptual visualization and strategic planning along with a craftsman-like attention to the quality of materials and resolution of construction details. That design dexterity allows the studio to work across scales from large to small; in a variety of contexts from rural to urban; and within a range of project typologies from parks and gardens to vacant lots and post-industrial sites.
Rooted in the Midwest, IMPLEMENT has completed projects for clients including: City of Girard, OH; Cleveland Botanical Garden; City of Gary, IN; and Silo City in Buffalo, NY. Additionally, the studio has actively engaged our local community working with local clients including: St. Joseph Montessori School, Pizzuti Collections, Columbus Metropolitan Libraries, Marburn Academy, Columbus City Schools, Columbus Recreation & Parks, 400 West Rich, and Ohio State’s Knowlton School of Architecture.
