Kristina Floor

Biographie : Founding Principal Kristina Floor is a second-generation Phoenician who has a vested interest in making Arizona communities more livable by creating meaningful spaces within the public realm. In addition to her career as an urban designer and landscape architect, Kris has a strong understanding of the built form through her collaborative experience working within an architecture firm. Each of these skills has allowed Kris the opportunity to be involved in several projects over her forty-year career ranging in scale from urban planning to mixed use development and urban infill. Known for her strategical design approach, Kris also has extensive experience with projects that include below grade parking structures which resulted in the need to implement landscape over-structure in what is now known as intensive green roof design. These projects have stood the test of time and Kris is sought after as an expert in this field. In addition to these highly technical and complex project types, Kris is also well known for creating meaningful interpretive spaces that have been recognized nationally for their design. Elsie McCarthy Sensory Garden, Desert Garden and the garden spaces related to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center are a few of the projects that have received both local and national recognition.
