PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

The collaborative tree mural pictured was a series of 24 individually painted canvases by Homewood‐Flossmoor 3rd grade girls at a Dolphin Lake Clubhouse rental. Titled “A Place to Grow” the combined painting makes a single tree inhabited by various ani‐ mals.

LINDENGROUP architects believes in a col‐ laborative process that collectively gathers individual goals and composes them into solutions that best fit each individual project.

This collaborative process will provide a sense of ownership to all involved with re‐ sults that will exceed expectations.
