| Steve Crebbin |
Steven C. Crebbin passed away in February of 1999. Steven was a native Floridian, born and raised in Miami. Having grown up in South Florida, he was cognizant of the environmental concerns and issues that go hand-in-hand with coastal landscapes. In 1991, he earned a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Florida, in Gainesville. In honor of his achievements, friends and family have created the Steven C. Crebbin Endowed Scholarship Fund to provide support for students in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Florida.
Steven then worked on many projects throughout Dade and Monroe counties, as well as the Bahamas. Steven's strengths lay within his knowledge of basic design principles. He traveled far and abroad throughout his career, which enabled him to be exposed to various design themes and styles. His extensive European travel allowed him to study garden design in countries such as England, France and Italy. These influences were evident in his ability to reflect a design style from the architecture or context of any given project. He saw many formal and vernacular garden design styles and, most importantly, understood how these styles could be adapted to any given condition.
Steven was the Vice President of the firm, Brown & Crebbin Design Studio, Inc.. In August 1997, he was appointed as a member of the Old Keys Bridges Task Force, by Governor Lawton Chiles. He was an active member in the Ocean Reef Business Council, Key Largo Chamber of Commerce, Key Largo and Marathon Key EDC Highway Beautification Subcommittees, Florida Keys Scenic Highway Steering Committee, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Florida Native Plant Society, Fairchild Tropical Gardens, and The Viscayans.
