Troy Britt

Exploring the dynamic of relationships between natural history, human community, and built form inspires Troy’s fascination for landscape architecture. Engaging these connections through a combination of diverse methods - hand sketching, digital graphics, and construction documentation - Troy locates within complex issues opportunities where resilient designs can respond to context and embrace desire.

Working on projects in the Mountain-West region has cultivated for Troy a keen interest in the conservation of water and its uses as well as enhancing his understanding of how native plants and ecosystems operate. This interplay of relationships and connections between ecology and the built environment is a catalyst that underpins his work for improving climate resiliency in cities.

Originally from the Midwest, Troy joined GGN after several years of practice in Denver and Kansas.

Troy received his Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Colorado in Denver and his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kansas State University. During his landscape architecture studies, Troy explored community-engaged designs prioritizing climate resilience and sustainable planning for new and existing developments.

In 2018, Troy was the inaugural recipient of the Dana Crawford Endowment from the University of Colorado for his efforts in equitable development and design for underserved communities in Denver, Colorado. Troy currently serves on the board for the Friends of Seattle Olmsted Parks and is licensed in the state of Washington. When he’s not in the studio, Troy spends his time on his organic farm, where he explores how agriculture and ecology inform his design work.
