Our mission is to make the world better than we found it.
OLA is an independent multidisciplinary practice of Landscape Ar-chitecture based in Milan. Since 2023 we have been operating at the intersection across Environmental Engineering, Geology, Agro-nomy, Ecology and Landscape Architecture, delivering projects with a real, positive impact on the world we live in. From the start, each design decision is conceived to address mul-tiple challenges at once.
OLA exists to challenge conventional practice, strip away the unnecessary and drive real change in a world that needs it more than ever. This is why our work is always: Multidisciplinary — positioning us as a strategic partner able to address every dimension of a project; Future-oriented — helping our clients, and the world around us, anticipate challenges that may not yet exist. From concept to construction, we work closely with public administrations, architects and developers, shaping projects that are precisely engineered, environmentally sustainable and rooted in the identity of each site. Our team brings together landscape architects, environmental and hydraulic engineers, urban planners, agronomists, geologists and biologists, united by a shared commitment to creating spaces that serve both people and planet.

From the garden to the territorial scale, we design landscapes as living systems: places that grow, adapt and endure over time.

Water, soil and climate are design materials. Hydraulic invariance and nature-based solutions are built into every project from day one.

We restore and create habitats, reconnecting ecological networks so that every project gives back more than it takes.

Productive landscapes that rebuild soil fertility, protect water and support biodiversity, with agronomy at the heart of the project.

We design public spaces around the user experience: streets, squares and parks shaped by the way people live, move and meet.

Our expertise
Applied multidisciplinarity
Designing open spaces as living systems, where ecology, water and people shape the form of every place.
Working at the territorial scale: reading the structure and history of a landscape to guide how it changes over time.
Managing water on site — drainage, retention and hydraulic invariance — so that rain becomes a resource.
Understanding how water moves through catchments and soils, to design with the water cycle, not against it.
Improving the quality of air, water and soil, with nature-based solutions at the core of the design.
Habitats, ecological networks and biodiversity: designing so that every species finds its place.
Composing species, layers and seasons so that planting grows, changes and thrives over time.
Soil, crops and plant health: choosing species and techniques that make landscapes productive and resilient.
Reading the ground beneath every project: soils, substrates and geotechnics as the basis of each choice.
Shaping streets, squares and public spaces around the way people live, move and meet.
Buildings and structures conceived together with the landscape around them, never simply placed on it.
