MSLA MSLA crafts distinct landscapes that unite artistry and technical precision. We draw inspiration from the physical site and the surrounding culture.

And we look to nature, our constant muse, to animate and distinguish our landscapes. While we're inventive about addressing the issues that are transforming the environment today, we're steadfast in our belief that for a landscape to succeed it must not lean on fad, but be holistic, thoroughly researched, well-constructed and, of course, beautiful. We create spaces that endure -- that will be beloved for generations.

It was an honor to have Betsy Frederick-Rothwell and Julia Diane Larson from UC Berkeley’s Environmental Design Archives at our office to gather a collection of drawings and models to be included in the Environmental Design Archives. Thanks to them, my partner Grace Amundson, and Tomoka Taniguchi, MSLA’s spring intern from UC Berkeley, who has been helping prepare decades of work for a new forever home. Cheers to all the people who’ve had a hand in this work.

We’re honored to announce that the Heartwood Preserve Greenway System in Omaha, Nebraska, has been named the 2025 Innovation by Design Award winner by Fast Company in the category of Sustainability and Circular Design.

Fast Company’s competition is among the most rigorous in the design world with their IOD Awards celebrating “big ideas, meticulously thought-out details, and a clear viewpoint about how we live now – and how it could be better”.

Heartwood Preserve reimagines flood-control infrastructure as public art. Fourteen sculptural limestone vessels transform essential stormwater infrastructure into an experience of landscape, ecology, climate resilience, and wonder.

We’re deeply grateful to our client, , and to for recognizing the power of landscape architecture to shape meaningful, enduring places.
