WLA Studio has managed multiple on-call design and planning contracts with municipal, state, and federal agencies. WLA Studio is currently on multiple contracts providing both new construction design and historic resource planning for the National Park Service. We have provided master planning and design for park and recreation departments for multiple counties in Georgia. Our projects include passive and active recreational design. Our past and current work also includes projects involving the protection of historic and environmental resources. Much of our work has been in historic landscapes, where we have developed plans to satisfy recreational needs while minimizing impact to irreplaceable resources.
