Career Opportunities

Who We Are

OLA Landscape Architecture is a New York–based, MBE-certified landscape architecture studio creating thoughtful gardens, private residential landscapes, and immersive hospitality environments throughout the United States and abroad. Our work is rooted in the belief that every site has a unique story. Through careful research, collaboration, and observation, we draw inspiration from local materials, cultural traditions, and native plant communities to create landscapes that feel authentic, timeless, and deeply connected to their surroundings. We view landscape as the bridge between architecture and nature. Whether designing a rooftop terrace in Manhattan, a private estate in the countryside, or a hospitality destination abroad, our goal is to create environments that enrich everyday life, promote wellness and retreat, and foster meaningful connections between people and place.
