Epic work is
only possible
when you
have the
right people.
The kind of people who are good at what they do and know how to have fun in the process.
We always
take our
work seriously. But never ourselves.
We keep things light. We laugh hard. And we genuinely enjoy one another’s company. It’s our secret sauce. And when you work with us, we consider you part of the team. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and have some fun too.
Our team in their Natural Environment.#dtjculture
☀️Say hello to Waters Edge at Palmilla Beach, a nature-inspired, thoughtfully designed, and totally dreamy community destination. This coastal sanctuary isn’t just a neighborhood, it’s a coastal escape wrapped in nature and designed for laid-back luxury. Nestled within the 2,200-acre Palmilla Beach Resort and Golf Community, Waters Edge breaks away from the traditional grid and embraces a flowing, curvilinear layout surrounded by shimmering lakes, lush dunes, and wide-open green spaces.
Whether you`re strolling along miles of scenic walking trails, paddling through the kayak trail, or relaxing by the pool, every corner of Waters Edge invites you to slow down and soak in the beauty. We’re proud to play a role in bringing the community`s vision to life and guiding its architectural character.

Four years. Four wins. One incredible destination.
Baha Bay at @bahamarresorts just claimed its FOURTH consecutive win as the Caribbean`s Leading Water Park in the prestigious @worldtravelawards!
The project transformed constraints into innovation:
✨World-class water park features integrated with authentic Bahamian architecture
✨Caribbean-first attractions designed with local artists and materials
✨Completed during a pandemic when supply chains collapsed
Back-to-back wins for proving authenticity and excellence aren`t competing values, they`re complementary ones. Click the 🔗 in bio.
We`ve also been nominated for the World`s Leading Water Park 2025. Vote before October 26! 🔗 in our bio.
Good planning starts with one thing: listening.
October is #NationalCommunityPlanningMonth, and we`re reflecting on what makes engagement truly effective. From farmers markets to multilingual focus groups, we recommend:
✨ Meeting people where they are, not where it`s convenient for us
✨ Marking participation interactive, not intimidating
✨ Including all voices across languages, generations, and cultures
✨ Going broad with outreach, then diving deep with focused groups
Real engagement isn`t about checking boxes, but creating space for authentic community voices to shape the places they call home.
Our full takeaways from our recent Colorado projects are now live - link in bio!

Shannon Horn has joined our Principal group! Shannon joined DTJ in 2002 and has brought a wealth of experience and fun to DTJ.

✨Meet Ankita Nagwekar, one of our talented former interns who recently turned full-time Landscape Designer at DTJ! Inspired by Steve Jobs’ words, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” Ankita brings a bubbly personality to the team along with passion and creativity to every project. Ankita uses her technical expertise and planning skills to create designs that are not only beautiful but also foster connections, spark memories, and evolve. From planting plans at Waterworld to the thoughtful details in Marshall’s Ranch, her time as a DTJ DESIGN intern last year proved to be extremely valuable.
When she’s not designing, you’ll find her sketching, catching up on Bollywood films, sharing her mischievous sense of humor with the team, or going on serious shopping sprees for all the big-name brands. An escape for Ankita is spending time with "Happy", her quirky fur best friend who lives up to his name, is a little foodie of his own, and never lacks happiness during mealtime. Fun fact: Ankita once dreamed of being a fighter jet pilot, and now she’s soaring in landscape architecture design instead! 🌎
We’re so glad to have Ankita shaping spaces and bringing joy to our team. 🌟 Please join us in welcoming Ankita (back) to DTJ! 👏

This event brought together a dynamic mix of professionals from across the homebuilding industry for a day of networking, collaboration, and camaraderie, all while enjoying a round of golf in perfect weather. Our Beverage Cart Sponsorship helped keep the tournament lively and gave us a great opportunity to engage with attendees throughout the day.
