Specializations

​

Our office deals with various scales of landscape architecture design, from detailed designs to regional masterplans. We design contextually, the concept emerging out of a deep understanding of the local elements and stakeholders. Our design process is participatory, adopting a position of deep listening, care, observation and constant awareness of processes in the making.

We see the connection with place, and the honoring of what exists as the key to the success of a project. We attempt to rely as much as possible on local knowledge, and specialize in facilitating participatory planning processes, sustainable development designs, and the making of places for natural ecosystems to flourish in the urban environment.
