Biography

Jingpeng Gu joined Mahan Rykiel in 2003 and has set a new standard for design excellence in a broad range of project sectors including housing, hospitality, mixed use, parks, urban design and streetscape, and corporate landscape design. 

With a dual degree of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Peng brings a truly unique perspective to landscape architectural design with a greater understanding of the relationship between buildings and their surrounding spaces.  Peng believes that landscape architecture is not only a way of resolving space but also a way of creating relationships between people and nature, and among ourselves. Her passion is to build spaces that are sustainable, functional, beautiful, and inspiring; landscapes that can live and breathe with people and be a part of their lives.

With more than 15 years of experience, Peng has delivered numerous thoughtful, award-winning projects. These projects have become great assets to the community and continue to serve as places for people to celebrate their unique natural environment and rich cultural heritage.
