DELVA Landscape Architecture | Urbanism is a leading office in landscape design and urban planning.
DELVA believes in the power of nature as a catalyst for solving the major challenges of the 21st century. That is why the studio turns the design process on its head and radically chooses the landscape as the point of departure. Spatial development becomes a tool for densification, greening, and sustainability.
From sketch to realisation, DELVA crafts meaningful landscapes and spatial experiences, starting from the essence of place. Through a collaborative and integrated approach, the studio connects the landscape intrinsically with architecture, technology, policy, and economic viability. DELVA holds the conviction that only generous gestures toward the landscape can bring us closer to the living world we collectively envision.
The studio has received several professional awards, including the World Landscape Award and the Architecture MasterPrize, and has been named Architect of the Year.
DELVA creates radical landscapes for people, nature, and the economy.
