Vision

DELVA Landscape Architecture | Urbanism is a leading office in landscape design and urban planning.

DELVA believes in the power of nature as a means to tackle the major challenges of the 21st century. That is why at DELVA we turn the design process upside down and radically choose the landscape as the starting point. At DELVA, spatial developments are used as a means of densification, greening and sustainability.

Starting from the essence of the place, we create meaningful landscapes and spatial experiences, from sketch to realization. By taking a position and cooperating integrally with all partners in the design process, we connect the landscape intrinsically with buildings, technology, policy and financial viability. This direction comes from our conviction that only generous gestures towards the landscape can bring us closer to a living world that we all dream of.

We create radical landscape for people, nature and economy.
