OLIN, recipient of the 2008 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award, is internationally recognized for design excellence in landscape architecture, urban design and planning. For over 32 years we have demonstrated a commitment to the urban realm, creating timeless spaces that promote social interaction. The studio�s holistic approach incorporates the intrinsic qualities of each site to form designs that are appropriate, contextual and embraced. As designers in the 21st century, we recognize the urgency and responsibility to incorporate environmental, economic and social sustainability into the design process to establish a foundation of longevity and vitality for our projects, and have done so throughout our history. From our sole studio in Philadelphia, our team of 60 landscape architects, building architects, urban designers and talented support staff create places that enhance life.

Our clients are drawn to us because of our belief in the power of collaboration, both within the studio and with other allied professionals, to produce the most innovative and thoughtful outcomes. Years of experience alongside celebrated clients, architects, engineers, artists and designers have yielded successful and productive working relationships, enabling us to collegially and positively influence projects for the greater good. By exploring each site through a rigorous process of research and analysis, our design solutions re-imagine constraints as inspiration and opportunity. A devotion to our craft and a commitment to regional adaptability capitalize on the diverse talents and resources within our studio and produces site-specific, respectful designs for clients and communities.

OLIN�s award-winning projects range in scale from master plans for entire urban districts, to the design of public parks and plazas, to intimate garden spaces and residences. By addressing each project as a unique opportunity that speaks to its history, ecology and community, we have successfully completed a wide range of projects in a variety of global locations. In every instance our aesthetic vision, in concert with precise detailing and technical innovation, produces a lasting, design-driven solution. Working with both static and living systems, we create celebrated places of social purpose and environmental responsibility, fostering life today and for future generations.
