At the heart of our practice is a profound desire to render landscape as an essential part of making meaningful and sustainable habitats for all living kind.
edit atelier
The studio is engaged in a variety of projects ranging from the planning and design of gardens and public spaces, to larger scale masterplans and territorial strategies. We often collaborate with architectural offices, engineers, artists and researchers among other specialist on the transformation of complex urban landscapes.
We offer full service landscape design services and like to work between physical and digital models, onsite testing, and engagement through workshops.
Currently we are working on several transformation sites that have significant historical value, and truly enjoy practicing within these environments. For us the "unseen" of the landscape and atmosphere often act as a starting point for the new narrative of a site - the logic is in the landscape.
city as habitat
Our cities are a collective landscape project. We thrive in re-thinking urban landscapes as living systems and are often invited to work on large scale planning commissions and competitions to find invisible logics and identities underlying the site, and often use competitions as a form of research and innovation that can be applied and adapted elsewhere; "studio as a project, project as a studio".
Design Approach
We believe in a highly collaborative & innovative process and to develop long lasting relationships with the actors within each project, this communication plays a central role as most projects emerge over several years.
We often use โeditโ as a process to structure early phase project development:
-
explore the context and examine the spatial potentials in relation to the narrative of the project. โ
-
develop strategies for the best design value, combining resources and functions for synergies. โ
-
imagine and integrate fun and playfulness into the process - no reason for our living environments to be boring!
-
team-up with experts from other disciplines, and communities; the greatest results come from working laterally.
