Matt Piccone, PLA
Matt Piccone is a Landscape Architect, Project Manager, and Resilience Planner who ensures that places are healthy, pleasant, and resilient for life. He enjoys learning about how people function and feel in spaces, and how to enable them to live more responsibly and more connected to the places that they occupy. He has explored these goals at multiple scales - from workspaces to entire cities - through project experience, coworkers, research, experts, and the natural world. He integrates these ideas through experience and knowledge gained in over 15 years of interdisciplinary design work.
Matt has worked in architecture, resilience planning, landscape architecture, and as part of research and development teams on everything from conceptual master plans and visioning to observing construction. He has managed large and complex site projects, as well as design frameworks and guidebooks, to ensure outcomes reflect the goals and vision of the client, occupants, and communities they represent.
Matt has an AIA Resilience and Adaptation Certificate which supports his passion for guiding organizations and communities on how best to prepare for our uncertain future. He believes that Landscape Architecture has a huge role to play when it comes to creating a healthy, livable, and regenerative world for all.
Matt loves working at GreenWorks because of the shared vision of a design process that merges human and natural systems to create multiple benefits, and is based on both scientific research and the human experience. This ethos aligns greatly with his expertise and experience with Biophilic Design and his passion for ecology.
When Matt needs to disconnect, he can be found practicing permaculture in his garden, relaxing with his wife Sarah, playing Legos with his son Ollie, or playing fetch with his dog Penny.
