We treat landscape as the primary medium of the contemporary city. Across hundreds of projects — public and private, intimate and civic — we imagine a continuous habitat unfolding through Los Angeles. Since 2021 the city has been recognized as a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat, a designation that echoes a commitment embedded in our studio since its founding: to work with the ecological realities of one of the largest and most complex cities in the United States.

Our point of departure is the idea of an elysian landscape — an Eden not as nostalgia, but as a living system. In a region where fragments of native habitat survive under increasing protection, we design landscapes that extend and reconnect them.

Our work is grounded in dialogue with the land. Every project begins with close attention to climate, soil, hydrology, and the native plants, animals, and insects that define a place. Design becomes an act of reciprocity — creating environments where urban life and ecological life intensify each other rather than compete.

The practice moves beyond the limits of any single discipline. Our team of designers, architects, builders, and horticulturalists collaborates to test materials, construction methods, and emerging technologies. We prioritize ethically sourced and sustainable systems while remaining open to experimentation — treating each project as a laboratory for new forms of ecological design.

Art runs through the studio’s DNA. It fuels a creative approach to both concept and construction, where aesthetic ambition meets technical precision. The result is landscape as experience: exuberant, immersive environments that invite exploration, stewardship, and delight — wildness threaded through the urban fabric.

We approach landscape as choreography over time. Spaces evolve, communities adapt, and ecosystems mature. What begins as a garden becomes a relationship — between clients, neighbors, climate, and culture.

Even the most private landscapes can ripple outward. Every project participates in a larger conversation about how cities live with nature, and how design can expand the ways we inhabit the world.
