For the Japanese American National Museum, we wanted the landscape design to be a seamless extension of the building design. Our approach was based on minimal, but finely articulated forms that required a high level of craftsmanship. The people at Shaw & Sons have provided that level of craftsmanship and professional expertise necessary to effectively realize our design intent. Their collaborative, service-oriented approach made them an invaluable member of our team. We believe that their passion for quality, ingenuity, and understanding of good design sets them apart when it comes to making concrete paving an effective medium expressing original ideas.” Ann Cutner Senior Associate/Landscape Architect
