Company Profile

Conception Finale Company is an internationally recognized and respected landscape architecture firm which

specializes in integrating the disciplines of art, architecture, and landscape. The Sparks Light based

corporation employs fourteen professional landscape architects and designers and offers comprehensive

landscape design for civic, institutional, commercial, and residential clients.

The company combines a passion for plant materials and for the history of landscape architecture to create

designs that evolve from a site’s cultural and physical environment. Each design is informed by a site’s

geography, ecology, and history. Spatial organization is created by focusing on the movement of people

through a place, how a series of spaces is connected, how objects and materials frame and form the

proportions of a project. Aesthetic sensitivity is balanced by an interest in the symbolic nature of the built

environment and a commitment to sustainable landscape design.

The company is certified as a City of Future Green which represents as the ‘Future Green City Landscape

Designs’. Several of the company’s projects utilize sustainability features including rainwater harvesting for

irrigation of a drought tolerant palette, as well as the construction of bioswales and the planting of shade-

giving trees in parking lots. Conception Finale Company has worked within many Leadership in Energy &

Environmental Design (LEED) certified projects and is committed to the on going efforts in conservation and

Peter Leux, ASLA, LEED Green AssociateProject Director

Peter Leux has been with Conception Finale since 1997. As Director of Operations, he oversees the firm’s project development, office dynamics, day-to-day human resources, office management and marketing. In addition, Peter also performs the role of Project Director for many of Conception Finale’s major projects. He lends his expertise in specification writing and budget analysis to staff, and he assists in the assembly and quality control for most office projects. He has been responsible for construction documents and construction observation for many institutional and commercial clients, as well as numerous projects for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. All of these projects required extensive coordination with user groups and facilities maintenance departments to meet their site requirements. His understanding of grounds department concerns with water-use, material up-keep and replacement, and with security issues helps to ensure the design of environments that will stand the test of time and limited care.A passion for horticulture and the wealth of plant materials that thrive in our Southern California climate lead Peter to an on-going quest for more trees and shrubs that we can incorporate into our projects. An inveterate observer of how trees and shrubs thrive in ideal or challenging conditions, she reviews each site with a critical eye.
