WASHINGTON, DC | MVLA has worked with the Washington National Cathedral since 1995 on projects that have championed the reemergence of its historic landscape during a new era. Continual changes to the city and circulation around this site have necessitated novel design strategies for bringing visitors, scholars, and worshipers into its fold, with careful attention paid to the vision of the Olmsted Brothers’ 1910 and 1924 Master Plans. As the active Landscape Architect for All Hallows Guild, the organization responsible for the Cathedral’s varied grounds, MVLA has worked on the Master Plan for the Close and numerous smaller projects within it, as well as renovations and additions to the Bishop's Garden, the Herb Cottage Garden, and West Front gardens. Further projects include Woodley Street improvements, the gatehouse for the National Cathedral School, the Children’s Garden for Beauvoir, and a collaboration with SmithGroup on the Visitors Center and parking garage.
