Office

LandPlan – Território, Paisagem, Arquitectura is a landscape architecture studio that gathers landscape architects with several years of experience in the field, with a particular focus on the development of both conceptual and constructive solutions together with other fields of knowledge throughout the whole design process.

The firm LandPlan provides services to singular and institutional clients, both private and public, participating in the development of works that range all sizes - from the private garden as an extension of the house, to a city´s parks and public spaces, to the outdoor spaces of housing complexes, to the terraces and gardens of commercial and office complexes, to the large, man-made areas that feature a balanced integration of the natural within the artificial.

The integrated development of each stage of the project with the other specialists, allows for the achievement of solutions that will greatly promote continuity and cohesion between inner and outer spaces, between public and private domains, resulting in the enhancement of the fruition of outdoor spaces.

The work methodology of LandPlan requires its technicians to be present during decision making moments and throughout the whole design process, enabling the development of solutions that from the outset integrate the specific technical variables of all the disciplines that converge to carry out the work (from stability to infrastructural networks). This allows for the optimization of technical and constructive solutions, which results in the enhancement of the understanding of the proposed architecture and its cohesive relationship with nature.
