SzaboWINTERBOTTOM
Presenting the work of Daniel Winterbottom and Jen Szabo. Working collaboratively on a range of public projects from therapeutic environments to integrated art, they have sought to create an inclusive process that yields the highest aesthetic standards and attention to craft. From large interdisciplinary teams to individual private clients, the process connects these aesthetic standards to the meaning of space through creativity and technical expertise.

Daniel Winterbottom
has been working in landscape architecture, garden design and art for over 15 years. Her passion for therapeutic gardens and children’s learning environments has guided her work on schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, memorials and p-patches in the public sphere. She has sat on the board of the Environmental Adventure School and continues to work with students at the UW Landscape Architecture department. Her art is influenced by her connection to landscape and its forms, and in turn, her landscape design is infused with her creative sensibilities. She brings this same sense of the importance of restorative environments to her residential design for structures, exterior furnishings, integrated art, outdoor kitchens and gardens to create holistic outdoor rooms. She appreciates working in one on one relationships with clients to achieve unique and personalized spaces.
