About

Landscape Architecture and Urban Design

The studio was founded in 2008 by Yael Bar-Maor, landscape architect and urban designer. Our team is experienced in landscape architecture, urban design and planning.

We believe Landscape architecture is a medium of exchange between the social and the natural environment. We create environments that set the stage for everyday social interactions.

The designs we practice are aimed to promote healthy, inclusive, more just public spaces. Our design processes are based on a pragmatic and site-specific approach.
