OLA’s team lives here and works here. We are passionate about Asheville: its history, unique architecture, natural surroundings, and community. We are committed as a firm to positively contributing to our local community through creative and environmentally conscious designs that protect our precious natural resources, restore wildlife habitats, preserve historic landmarks, and enhance the shared public realm. Since its inception in 2014, OLA passionately pursues a creative and collaborative design practice that is driven by civic, commercial, residential, and mixed-use infill landscape architecture projects that enrich lives, engage clients in a participatory design process, and strive to address pressing global and environmental issues. Our approach is one where we strive to partner with clients and consultants through an iterative and collaborative process where the values and ideas of our clients are at the center of our work. We carefully consider the physical, cultural, historical, and economic factors that allow for the realization of contextually appropriate designs that are ecologically sensitive, financially feasible, and beautiful in all seasons.
