Christian Preus, Landscape Architect
Director of Design
Christian has had a hand in nearly every stage of design and development at Florence Gardens over the past seven years including the meticulous siting of each structure in the neighborhood and overseeing the design of everything from park spaces and walkway systems to monuments, bridges and community and private landscapes.
He has worked closely with our project engineers to certify Florence Gardens’ Founders District as one of the State’s first Low Impact Developments, which places a premium on environmental stewardship and storm water management. Under Christian’s leadership, Florence Gardens was honored with two Excellence in Design Awards in 2008.
A native of the Mississippi Delta, Christian is a 2002 graduate of Mississippi State University and has become a highly sought-after consultant for projects involving public spaces across the Coast such as Pascagoula’s Riverfront Development, the Ocean Springs Front Beach Master Plan and the Biloxi Town Green.
