BLOCS was founded by Blake in 2020 with a passion for creating meaningful, people-focused spaces. We design outdoor spaces that serve both communities and the developments they’re part of – balancing thoughtful, people-first design with practical, real-world solutions that last. We specialize in:
Community-centered design: Engaging local voices to create spaces that reflect the people they serve
Mission-driven solutions: Designing with purpose, ensuring every project aligns with our core values of equity, connection and wellbeing
Design for thriving: Crafting spaces that support social, emotional and physical wellness – fostering a sense of belonging
Execution with impact: Taking a resource-conscious approach to maximize value and deliver meaningful, high-quality design
