LASD Studio is a landscape architecture and design firm rooted in San Diego, California and Spain, creating projects worldwide.

We specialize in designing regenerative landscapes—living, evolving systems that restore ecosystems, support wildlife and biodiversity, and respond intelligently to changing climates. Our gardens are crafted not only for beauty, but to heal the land, enhance water cycles, prevent fire risk, and create long-term ecological value.

From private estates and holiday villas to urban spaces, commercial projects, and public landscapes, every design is deeply tailored to the natural character of the site and the cultural and architectural identity of each place.

While we honor the visual language of different artistic epochs—from Mediterranean Revival to Minimalism—our guiding principle is always the same: to create spaces where nature, people, and time can thrive together.

Whether you're dreaming of a quiet garden sanctuary or a bold public vision, LASD Studio blends art, science, and sustainability to bring landscapes to life—now and for generations to come.
