Southampton Residence
Our design for a new build in Southampton takes an ecological approach to restoring the site with native plants (and no lawn), enveloping the house in a garden that will transform throughout the seasons. A series of intimate moments unfolds smoothly as you wander between them.

Woodstock Residence
One idea drives our whole design: bringing the meadow to the house.
Situated on a woodland edge, this Woodstock residence fronts a vast protected meadow, which is an expression of the geological history of the valley made visible.
Our design pulls the meadow closer to the house, composing outdoor living spaces along its edge, and elevating it to become a defining characteristic of the home.

Meatpacking Office Terrace
Landform collaborated on the planting design for a rooftop amenity terrace in the Meatpacking district.
The plant palette prioritizes native plants that are well-adapted to a rooftop environment, crafting a dynamic and evolving palette as visualized in these renderings. It provides seasonal interest, movement, and sensory experience throughout all seasons.
Bloomfield Hollow
Bloomfield Hollow is a new destination event venue set within 34 acres of woodland.
The site remembers something older than the suburb that grew around it: glacial outwash, oak and hickory canopy, water finding the low places it has always found.
Our design clears away what doesn't belong and lets the hollow reveal itself: meadow where invasives once choked the understory, filtered light beneath a restored canopy, stone and water where the land already dips and gathers.
The building is discovered here, not placed - framed by grasses, sheltered by woods, and arrived upon as if it had always been waiting.
Long Island Greenway
In collaboration with the Trust for Public Land, Landform developed a series of renderings for the proposed Long Island Greenway, a proposed 200-mile extension of the Empire State Trail that will connect NYC to Montauk.
Our work focused on revealing the ecological diversity and local character of the landscapes the trail would traverse, from urban neighborhoods and suburban corridors to the ecologically significant Pine Barrens, agricultural lands, and coastal dune landscapes.
Midtown Office Terrace
A rooftop amenity terrace was enhanced with new planting, trees, and clusters of planters at staggered heights that create a series of sheltered seating nooks that draw employees outside. The planting design adds layers of texture, diversity, and enclosure.
Koh Samui Garden Villa
Nestled on a beach overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui Garden Villa is a collection of seven pavilions enveloped by a lush tropical garden. Designed in close collaboration with Atelier Nido, the landscape provides a sensory and immersive experience, both inside and out.
The buildings are organized to encourage movement between indoors and out, with each pavilion oriented to frame views, hold shade, and foster both privacy and interaction.
Local materials were used to create a sense of place: Samui granite hand-carved by island artisans, travertine sourced from a Thai quarry, Sukabumi stone at the pool to mirror the shifting colors of the sea, and repurposed teak shingles from an old barn on the roof of the bar and sala pavilions.
Buffalo River Rock Connector Trail
In collaboration with the Trust for Public Land, Landform developed a series of renderings to illustrate the potential of a new 2.73-mile trail that will turn an out-of-use rail corridor into a vibrant, green pathway linking four historically underserved neighborhoods to the benefits of nature.
Once complete, the River Rock Connector Trail will offer safe, accessible routes for walking and biking, improved access to the waterfront and the Empire State Trail, and much-needed green space in a part of the city long burdened by industrial disinvestment and a lack of infrastructure investment.
