We are an outdoor design studio that creates conceptual landscapes honoring a life without walls.

The work embodies the cycles of nature: The pent up energy of a seed, a rock carved by years of water, old growth redwood with a journal of scars, the native grass that persists season after season to claim its land, the decay and death of matter. And beginning this revolution of seasons and change again and again. We are a collaborator with the natural flux of the wild. 

Our designs balance permanence and impermanence. As salt oxidizes the metal and the wood silvers, we acknowledge earth settling in. Nature can appear permanent but only for a fragment of time just as light falls into shadow. Our goal is to support each material in its journey and foster its pattern by selecting the right materials for the outdoors and using it in a way that supports vision and function. 

OR.CA landscapes are a reflection of the humans that occupy them: The family settling roots into their land, the kid that uses an old oak as a fort, the table that provides evening conversation, the fire where two people create a community of many. We work to bring a deeper connection between nature and the people that inhabit a space. A garden’s biorhythm is a reflection of ourselves. Our work exists to expand and deepen this relationship inward.

To us, the work is never done. The art and function that we build is simply a mark of lineage that will continue beyond us. The flora matures into creatures of its own existence. The stone becomes worn to show the paths we found most common. The soil tells stories of life, death and everything in-between. When a landscape is complete, it is simply beginning.
