Landscape Architecture
No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill.
Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.
- Frank Lloyd Wright
Integration of Site & Architecture
The literary conflict of Man vs. Nature has conditioned many to believe that man and nature cannot co-exist. Man is a part of nature, however, and once realized, this bond establishes a framework in which to best fuse the relationship of building and site.
The Landscape Architects at Landform Studio have been involved with the design of many of Western North Carolina's premier site development projects. From Large Scale Resort Planning to intimate Garden Design let Landform Studio help you define what your site wants to be
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
-Leonardo da Vinci

Jeff McGahee is the principal landscape architect at Landform Studio. Born the son of an engineer father and a plant fanatic mother Jeff was destined to pursue a career as a Landscape Architect. Receiving his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia in 1995, Mr. McGahee worked for numerous Design Firms in Georgia and North Carolina. He has completed projects in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Through work experience and personal interest, Jeff has become a proficient liaison between Client, Architect, Engineer, Environmentalist and Public official. Jeff has a lifelong connection to Western North Carolina, but it was not until 1997 that he decided to establish permanent roots in Asheville, NC and hone his skills at mountain site development. In 2006 Mr. McGahee created LandForm Studio. He has been involved with the design of some of the most exciting built environments in Western North Carolina including streetscapes, commercial properties, prestigious second homes & resort communities. He is a registered Landscape Architect in Georgia and North Carolina. When not in the office designing built environments, you may find him on the trail or on the river soaking up inspiration from natural environments.
There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be
tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight.
