ABOUT EKLA
EKLA was founded in 1994. Black-owned and woman-run, EKLA is the longest-surviving such firm in the country. The majority of our work is civic in focus, and mission-driven: if you have been to the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn, or the African Burial Ground National Monument in Lower Manhattan, you have experienced our landscapes. Our projects at the intersection of social justice and design quietly challenge mainstream assumptions about the aspirations and needs of underrepresented voices and exemplify landscape architecture’s potential to engage a broader critical understanding of place and identity.
