incorporating environmental awareness through landscape design
McDonald’s is committed to creating vibrant, contemporary landscapes that seamlessly complement its architectural and interior design. Beyond aesthetics, these landscapes play a crucial role in promoting environmental responsibility through innovative, sustainable solutions.
A key focus is the integration of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) principles, ensuring that each site not only enhances the customer experience but also contributes to a healthier environment.

Each site exemplifies our commitment to creating landscapes that are not only functional and sustainable but also visually engaging. Our designs seamlessly complement McDonald’s brand and architectural vision, ensuring that every project enhances both the environment and the community it serves.
water sensitive urban design (wsud) principles
Where feasible, WSUD strategies are integrated into McDonald’s sites to lower the cost of water infrastructure development and upkeep, maximize water efficiency and conservation, enhance water quality to support a cleaner, healthier ecosystem, and reduce flood risk in urban areas.
By incorporating sustainable landscape and water management practices into each project, McDonald’s strengthens its commitment to environmental leadership. These strategic design solutions not only enhance the visual appeal of spaces but also provide lasting ecological and economic advantages.
