Robert Murase FASLA: "The positioning of stone in the landscape is an ancient and sacred tradition and has always interested me – from stone walls and megaliths in Europe to stone gardens in Japan."

Since 1982, Murase Associates, Inc. with offices in Portland and Seattle, has provided urban design, planning and landscape architectural services for a wide variety of public and private clients. The firm has gained international prominence for design quality and execution of projects which have resulted in the development of built spaces sensitive to detail and material use and appropriate to place. Founding principal Robert Murase, with nearly four decades of experience, serves as lead designer for much of the firm's work. Murase Associates brings considerations of setting and the ability to build with elegance to each project it designs. The firm has earned multiple national design awards from the American Society of Landscape Architects.

In according AIA Seattle Honorary Membership in 2003, the Honors Nominating Committee noted:
"The work of landscape architect Robert Murase 'has a way of becoming one with architecture,' as one collaborator notes.

"Influenced by elements of traditional Japanese garden design, Murase's aesthetic focuses on stone and water systems. His deft translations have resulted in the creation of special urban spaces, and made a distinct contribution to the Northwest design ethic. The public and professionals alike admire his work at the Garden of Remembrance at Benaroya Hall, at Union Depot, and the Port of Seattle among other significant projects. His AIA Seattle colleagues honor 'one of our best.'"
