Where Art & Nature Evolve into Living Legacy.
Landscape Architecture & Garden Design Studio in San Diego, Southern California & Spain
LASD Studio designs landscapes shaped by architectural character, craft, and long-term stewardship, calm environments where beauty and performance stay aligned over time.
LASD Studio Landscape Design Philosophy
We design landscapes that blend architectural style, artistic sensitivity, and ecological intelligence.
Each project begins with the spirit of the place - the home’s era, materials, proportion, and the rituals of everyday life, and becomes a coherent outdoor extension of that identity.
Ecology is treated as part of design quality: water use, microclimate, soil, habitat, and long-term maintenance are integrated quietly, from the first concept through documentation.

Services & Scale
We design private gardens and residential estates, communities & HOA landscapes, and commercial & cultural projects where design quality and long-term performance matter.
When scope and alignment allow, our work may extend into landscape restoration and site-driven ecological projects - approached with the same level of authorship and documentation.
To maintain continuity from concept to completion, LASD Studio works with a limited number of clients each year - ensuring the design remains coherent, detailed, and faithfully executed on site.
Design Method & Documentation
LASD Studio uses an internal design system to coordinate design, documentation, and long-term performance — supporting complex projects with clarity, accuracy, and continuity from concept through construction.
