OvS is an award-winning practice of landscape architecture based in Washington, DC. The firm, a Certified Business Enterprise, draws upon over four decades of engaging and sustainable place-making in the public and private realms. OvS believes strongly in the collaborative process and maintains a built portfolio that demonstrates what is possible when art, science and environmental sensitivity equally drive design. The firm’s diverse mix of commissions ranges from urban corridors, monumental civic spac­es and institutions, to estates and urban residences. These outdoor spaces are programmed for a variety of active and passive uses and offer a humanizing connection to the land and surrounding context.

In 2014, OvS was awarded the American Society of Landscape Architects’ Landscape Architecture Firm Award. The award recognizes a “distinguished body of work that influences the professional practice of landscape architecture.”
