- Landscape Restoration & Regional Landscape Design -
LASD Studio plans and designs ecological restoration at site and regional scales—watersheds, green corridors, and fire-safe interfaces—integrating biodiversity, hydrology, and cultural context. We work across Southern California and Northern Spain to restore ecosystems, balance water, and build long-term climate resilience.

Ecological Design for Public and Regional Futures
LASD Studio leads ecological restoration and regional landscape design projects across Southern California and Northern Spain, from watersheds and coastal dunes to urban green corridors and fire-safe interfaces.
We integrate biodiversity, hydrology, soil regeneration, and cultural memory into landscapes that evolve through time — balancing water, restoring habitats, and strengthening climate resilience. We see landscapes not as static designs, but as evolving ecosystems. Our ecological restoration and regional projects weave together science, art, and community — repairing damaged environments and creating landscapes that thrive with life.
Landscapes That Live, Adapt, and Evolve
Beyond planting, we rebuild the living system itself.
Our work restores soil health, attracts pollinators, and supports predator species through layered eco-trophic systems: microbes → flora → insects → birds → mammals - It all begins with Landscape.
Each design regenerates biodiversity, restores ecological balance, and creates long-term resilience to fire, drought, and climate change.
Designing for Municipalities, Agencies, and Communities
Science, policy, and beauty aligned.
We collaborate with city councils, counties, developers, NGOs, and cultural institutions to transform degraded or vulnerable lands into productive ecological systems.
Our BIM-based workflow ensures quantifiable outcomes — from water retention and carbon storage to biodiversity indexes and public wellbeing metrics.
Each project becomes a visible symbol of civic leadership and a living classroom for community education.
Our Approach: Evolutionary Landscape Systems
Where design intelligence meets ecology.
At LASD Studio, landscapes are not static compositions — they are open systems that evolve through interaction, succession, and time.
We apply the principles of Designing Landscapes as Evolutionary Intelligent Systems to every restoration project:
1. Memory & Continuity — We read the landscape’s past to guide its future.
2. Systemic Integration — Hydrology, soil, culture, and life form one web.
3. Creative Emergence — Design creates conditions for new life to arise.
4. Adaptive Resilience — Each project adapts to disturbance and change.
5. Open Morphogenesis — Form is never final; landscapes continue to evolve.
