"My goal is to create designs that reflect and enhance the uniqueness inherent to each site, while seamlessly incorporating my client’s program and the user’s needs."

PAUL LETTIERI, A.S.L.A.

Paul Lettieri, MLA, ASLA, is a principal of The Guzzardo Partnership, Inc. and has over 25 years experience in all phases of landscape architecture, land planning and design.

The relationship of interior and exterior landscapes and their interaction with the users of the site have long been key components of his landscape design projects. Paul has been involved in many urban design and high-density multi-family housing, from the master planning stage through detail design and construction documents.

He has been the lead designer and project manager for many corporate offices, high density residential developments, parks, and landscape master plans including design guidelines in the Bay Area and internationally. He also serves as a design consultant to developers and architects in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia who are interested in contemporary American design.

Paul joined Guzzardo and Associates, Inc. in 1978. Over the years he enjoyed his working relationship with Anthony Guzzardo and went on to become a principal in the firm, lead designer and overall technology advocate. In 2000, Paul and Gary Laymon took steps to become the owners and partners of The Guzzardo Partnership, Inc.

Before his move to San Francisco, Paul taught design and graphics to undergraduate students at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Landscape Architecture from Rutgers University and a Master of Landscape Architecture Degree from the University of Illinois. Paul still loves to share his enthusiasm for the profession of Landscape Architecture and has served as a guest lecturer, instructor and design juror at the University of California and Stanford University.
