Create the extraordinary from the ordinary


As listeners and observers, we discover the beauty and stories embedded in everyday life, elevate and transform them to strengthen people’s connection to earth.


Ping is a landscape architecture and design firm founded in St. Paul MN, with a purpose of bringing design excellency to a larger audience.

Design excellency doesn’t always mean high-end materials and expensive finishes. It can come from ordinary things.


Ping comes from a Chinese Character: 平. It is short for Ping Chang (平常), which means common, ordinary and humble. It also means a state of calmness, a sense of balance and peace of mind. It is an idealism we want our design to achieve.

Ping’s services include:

  • garden design
  • public open space design
  • institutional work
  • interior design
