Who We Are
ijk.solutions is a computational design practice founded by Ernest Haines to integrate advanced parametric workflows into landscape architecture and urban design. By blending applied computation, model-making, and geospatial analysis, ijk helps teams refine their ideas with precision—preserving the magic of early design thinking while ensuring constructability.
Since 2016, Ernest has worked at the intersection of computational design and the built environment, contributing to projects in landscape infrastructure, urban recreation, and ecological systems. He has collaborated with:
-
Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates
-
Sherwood Design Engineers
-
GGN, Ltd.
-
AECOM
Ernest holds a Master of Landscape Architecture I, with distinction from Harvard GSD, where he was an Irving Digital Innovation Fellow, and a Bachelor’s in Urban Design from Parsons School of Design. His work bridges the creative and technical, enabling teams to move seamlessly from concept to execution.
What We Do
-
Design in 3D - Rapidly developing ideas that adapt to project timelines and resolution.
-
Design with Data - Analyzing site conditions, integrating environmental and spatial data into decision-making.
-
Bridge Design and Engineering - Creating a connection between design vision and technical requirements through structured, adaptable deliverables.
-
Enhance Visualization + Storytelling – Communicating design intent through compelling narratives, animations, and rendered sequences.
We work with landscape architects, urban designers, and those curious about technology, helping them work faster, think bigger, and build smarter. Let’s talk about how ijk.solutions can support your next project.
Our Process
Design is never static—neither are the tools we use to shape it. Landscapes evolve, and our workflows must adapt. ijk operates across scales, from site to geography, bridging geospatial analysis, computational workflows, and material precision to refine ideas into buildable, adaptable solutions.
Technology should amplify creativity, not constrain it. Our approach is flexible, iterative, and intuitive, empowering teams to work efficiently, explore deeper, and respond to change.
Whether you need a structured scope of work, an ongoing partnership, or targeted support, we integrate into your process to bring clarity, efficiency, and impact. Let’s build something that lasts—by designing for adaptability.
