The Firm Award is considered the highest honor ASLA may bestow upon a landscape architecture firm in recognition of distinguished work that influences the profession. OJB was founded by James Burnett in 1989 in Houston and now employs 45 professionals working in Houston, San Diego, and Boston. Among numerous notable projects, OJB designed the Park at Lakeshore East, which we highlighted in our recent feature on 21st century architecture in Chicago.
