Janet Pollock

Landscape Architect

Architecture extends well beyond a building’s walls. Siting buildings on the land and within a city is the most critical decision in the design process. The outdoor ‘rooms’ of a city are as vital as its interior spaces. A Watsonville native, Janet Pollock graduated first in her class at UC Berkeley in 1976. She has been a licensed landscape architect in Santa Cruz since 1978, when she and Mark Primack began working together.
