Falon Land Studio is an interdisciplinary practice in public art and landscape architecture. We work across urban design, garden design, outdoor sculpture and new media with a focus on enriching the public realm and connecting people with local ecology. With each project, we honor the beauty and resilience of each place to make work that's colorful, verdant, and fun.

Our practice is based on the belief that a connection to the natural world can be created anywhere. Our work is climate responsive, context sensitive, resilient, often bold and playful, organic, unexpected, new. We believe the results create a greater level of empathy and a stronger social fabric for communities. We work in direct collaboration with specialized consultants in fabrication, technology, architecture, and engineering. This allows our studio to be nimble and flexible to take on projects that don't fit a typical mold, but instead create the most value for a project and the most impact for the communities we serve.
