Firm Overview

Topophyla (Tow-Poe-Fahy-luh ) is an analysis and process driven landscape design firm serving Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Topophyla embraces the connection between the earth's landscape and the intricate tapestry of lifeforms that occupy it. The name merges 'topo,' meaning earth, with 'phyla,' referring to the major divisions in the natural world that share a common evolutionary origin.

​

This fusion reflects a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings and their shared foundation upon the earth. Topophyla stands by designing with a holistic vision, where every landscape architecture project is an opportunity to honor the unity and diversity of life. With an emphasis on sense of place and site-specific design, Topophyla brings a relevant and unique approach to every project.
