“True landscape design begins not with lines on paper, but with listening deeply to the territory – its soils, waters, histories, and living dynamics. 

Our role shifts from imposing control to cultivating relationships: fostering the inherent resilience and 'wildness' of place through co-creation with natural processes.

We seek not just sustainable function, but vibrant, meaningful landscapes born from this partnership, nurturing futures where both human and non-human life can thrive together.”

The studio







LLA is a landscape architecture and garden design studio created by Philippe Allignet, based in Rotterdam, active in the Netherlands, Belgium and France.



Embracing wilderness


In the era of the Anthropocene, facing profound climate and biodiversity challenges, we believe it's time to embrace the wild. Using landscapes as leverage, LLA actively explores and cultivates new relationships between human and non-human worlds, starting with a deep understanding of each territory. We see these places not as static settings, but as dynamic living systems full of opportunities to shape resilient, vibrant, and symbiotic futures.

Through landscape architecture and garden design, LLA delves into the intricate web of connections constituting place. It guides a fundamental shift away from human-centric control towards co-existence and co-creation, from fragmentation towards nurturing ecological continuity, from an imposed uniformity towards celebrating inherent uniqueness.

Transforming the physical environment goes hand-in-hand with inspiring new ways of seeing and interacting with Nature, aiming to shift perceptions, foster ecological understanding, research, and build the social and aesthetic acceptance vital for these living landscapes to thrive.

Working with natural dynamics is central to our practice, often expressed through a rewilding mindset across all scales. By fostering ecological processes and strengthening our cultural connection to the land, LLA shapes environments that are not only meaningful, resilient and alive, but that also actively engage with people, cultivating care. We aim to design landscapes that support better and wilder futures, deeply understood and embraced by the communities they sustain.
