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.

Our expertise

Applied multidisciplinarity

LaLandscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture

Designing open spaces as living systems, where ecology, water and people shape the form of every place.

LpLandscape planning
Landscape planning

Working at the territorial scale: reading the structure and history of a landscape to guide how it changes over time.

HeHydraulic engineering
Hydraulic engineering

Managing water on site — drainage, retention and hydraulic invariance — so that rain becomes a resource.

HyHydrology
Hydrology

Understanding how water moves through catchments and soils, to design with the water cycle, not against it.

EeEnvironmental engineering
Environmental engineering

Improving the quality of air, water and soil, with nature-based solutions at the core of the design.

EcEcology
Ecology

Habitats, ecological networks and biodiversity: designing so that every species finds its place.

PdPlanting design
Planting design

Composing species, layers and seasons so that planting grows, changes and thrives over time.

AgAgronomy
Agronomy

Soil, crops and plant health: choosing species and techniques that make landscapes productive and resilient.

GeGeology
Geology

Reading the ground beneath every project: soils, substrates and geotechnics as the basis of each choice.

UdUrban design
Urban design

Shaping streets, squares and public spaces around the way people live, move and meet.

AArchitecture
Architecture

Buildings and structures conceived together with the landscape around them, never simply placed on it.
