The studio designs territories, public spaces and gardens within a “wild” scope, bringing human and non-humans together in shared, meaningful and active spaces.
Scope
Embracing Wilderness, rethinking our connections to Nature
In the era of the Anthropocene, as we confront the daunting challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, it's time to think big and embrace the wild! LLA dares to push boundaries and forge new connections between humans and non-humans. It's about expanding our perspectives and rediscovering the untamed essence of the natural world.
Using landscape architecture as our guide, This studio delves into the intricate web of relationships between humans and non-humans. We move beyond exclusion to embrace coexistence, from fragmented spaces to seamless continuities, and from uniformity to celebrating uniqueness. This reevaluation is essential in shaping resilient and symbiotic environments, both in urban and rural landscapes.
LLA’s approach? It's all about rewilding. By reintroducing nature-based dynamics and fostering a deeper connection to the land, it aims to create spaces that are not only meaningful but also resilient and vibrant, towards better and wilder futures.

About
The brief time he spent at Atelier Jacqueline Osty & Associés helped develop his fascination for the design of public spaces and the image that they portray of nature. After that he worked at H+N+S+ Landschapsarchitecten and OKRA (the Netherlands). At the same time, he founded his own studio, LLA, in 2020.
This experience only confirmed his passion, on the one hand for the vast regions that call our landscapes into question, the tension that prevails between natural and environmental processes and anthropic uses of our society to design the landscapes of the future, and on the other hand, on the smaller scale of the gardens and public spaces in our towns and countryside, courtyards and private gardens.
He enjoys exchanging ideas and practices between these two scales, playing with artistic, ecological and social dimensions to create spaces that are highly visual, rich and diversified. They all carry a subtle yet clear message about the evolution of our practices and of the way we look at nature.
