A sampling of current work on the boards for our landscape architecture and planning studio. From hand sketches to 3D modeling and photorealistic renderings, we embrace the creative challenges of designing spaces and places that help communities celebrate who they are, and envision who they want to become.

Each project pushes us to think more deeply, collaborate more closely, and grow as designers committed to meaningful impact.

April is World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM) - a time to celebrate how landscape architects shape healthier, more resilient communities. This year’s theme, Beyond Boundaries, recognizes how we push past traditional roles to make a lasting impact. Landscape architecture isn’t confined to green spaces. We collaborate across disciplines, advocate for equity, and design with infrastructure, policy, and culture in mind.

For example, during the early planning and programming of a transformational $4B academic medical campus in downtown Indianapolis, Browning Day’s landscape architecture team stepped beyond expected boundaries to become an integral voice on the executive design team.

Working alongside architects, engineers, and construction managers, we helped master plan not just the site—but the future of health. Our contributions weren’t limited to streetscapes or green roofs; we advocated for infrastructure that supports resilience, materials that promote beauty and wellbeing, and public spaces designed for dignity, equity, and healing. The voice of landscape architecture was influential, advocating for budget allocations for experientially rich features and materials, and integrated infrastructure design, inspiring a new way of thinking about large-scale projects.

We’re proud to share that Michael Eagan, AIA, Principal and Director of Faith-Based Design at Browning Day, has been named a 2025 Outstanding Alumni by the Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning (ECAP) at Ball State University. This honor celebrates a career built not only on architectural excellence but on deep-rooted service to Catholic communities throughout Indiana and beyond.

Michael’s work is defined by listening first—and leading with purpose. For over four decades, he has guided parishes and dioceses through some of the most meaningful projects of their lifetimes: cathedrals renewed, parishes reimagined, and faith-filled spaces brought to life. His designs are known for their reverence, their clarity, and their ability to reflect both tradition and forward momentum.

We’re honored to work alongside Michael as he continues to shape a portfolio of work that uplifts, inspires, and honors the communities we serve.

Congratulations, Michael, on this well-deserved recognition.

Browning Day is committed to designing a resilient future through sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact.

As proud sponsors of the 2025 Indiana Sustainability and Resilience Conference (ISRC), we're excited to see Brett Schlachter and Daniel Overbey lead discussions on how thoughtful site design can enhance climate resiliency.

Join us on February 28th to explore sustainable solutions that shape a better future: https://eri.iu.edu/isrc

Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University

During this year’s Indiana Sustainability and Resilience Conference, a group of landscape architects will go through how site design can create great impact on climate resiliency.

Learn more >> eri.iu.edu/isrc

Session abstract:
The site design is often overlooked or not quantified within the building design and construction industry's movement towards climate positive designs. This presentation will highlight the site's role in climate positive design and how, while often overlooked, can be just as impactful as the building envelope. The presentation is organized from macro to micro, starting with a high-level overview of the industry as a whole and various organizations leading the discussion of the site design then focusing on site specific case studies and observations including how performance data is being collected and utilized to track impact, laying the groundwork for advancing sustainability in future site design projects.

Browning Day is excited to have the opportunity to partner with Grand Universe and Grand Universe Development Partners, LLC to bring the Grand Universe Development to life. The vision of a world-leading STEM campus focused on humanity's future in Space, and here on this planet, is a bold concept and Westfield is the perfect place to host that vision.

The keystone of that vision is Johnson-Hagerman Center for Science and Space Exploration, which will house the world's largest domed planetarium, solar and celestial observatories, science and technology exhibits, feature educational partnerships with institutions around the state, and innovative outdoor education spaces.

Surrounding the Johnson-Hagerman Center campus are a resort and conference center, sports and entertainment district, and a robust town center community with housing, retail, and entertainment facilities. All of this builds on the excellent facilities of Westfield in Grand Park, the Monon Trail, and the fastest growing community in the state of Indiana.
