David McCullough Featured in Bisnow MEDIA: Designing Adaptive Reuse for People
Adaptive reuse design for an industrial site.
We’re proud to share that our Principal Landscape Architect, David McCullough, ASLA, PLA, was recently featured in Bisnow Media to discuss the powerful role landscape architecture plays in adaptive reuse across California.
In the article, David emphasizes that adaptive reuse is more than repurposing buildings — it’s about creating environments where people feel connected, inspired, and excited to return.
One quote from David captures this philosophy perfectly:
“Instead of strong-arming people back to the office, the better way is to put them in environments they want to come back to.”
Across California, McCullough continues to support projects that breathe new life into campuses, commercial sites, and underutilized spaces. By designing exterior environments that celebrate authenticity and emphasize human connection, our team helps create places that are not only functional but genuinely meaningful.
David expanding on these ideas as a speaker at Bisnow’s Northern California Adaptive Reuse, Repositionings and Conversions Summit in San Francisco on November 18. His panel explored innovative repositioning strategies, creative approaches to reuse, and how thoughtful landscape design can drive long-term value.
