Oehme, Van Sweden | Ovs

OvS is an award-winning practice of landscape architecture based in Washington, DC. The firm, a Certified Business Enterprise in Washington, DC, 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.”
