After earning a
master’s degree in landscape architecture at the
University of California Berkeley, Sherry Dorward
won a U.S. government fellowship to work on
environmental and land use issues with the town
planning office in Kashmir, northern India.
Returning to the States in 1981, she worked with
landscape architecture firms in Denver and Boulder
before moving to Vail in 1989, where she managed
offices of northern California resort designer Eldon
Beck and Colorado-based Design Workshop. In early
2002, she opened her own landscape architectural
design practice.
A Colorado native, Sherry has become known for
her special expertise in high-altitude environments
and the particular issues associated with
development in mountain communities. Her work has
encompassed the master planning and design of
mountain resorts, resort communities and tourism
facilities; various civic facilities, including
parks, libraries, affordable housing and cemeteries;
private commercial and mixed-use developments; and
numerous residential landscapes.
Sherry has enjoyed international accolades for
her book, "Design for Mountain Communities: A
Landscape and Architectural Guide" (1990, Van
Nostrand Reinhold, New York) and is a frequent
lecturer on resort design issues. She has earned
design awards from the American Society of Landscape
Architects and the American Planning Association. In
1998, the Colorado Chapter of the ASLA honored her
as the state’s outstanding senior landscape
architect.
