Some of Our Projects

About Us

We design landscapes that respond to the environment and reflect how you live.

TOPOS is a boutique landscape architecture practice working on residential, public and commercial projects. Our approach combines strong structural and spatial design with a passion for ecology. We create outdoor spaces that feel personal, functional, and enduring—designed to be lived in, and to grow over time.


Every project is shaped by a clear understanding of place, usability, and environmental context. We work closely with clients to transform their landscapes into living, lasting parts of their everyday lives.

Our process starts with a conversation.

We often first meet our clients on site to discuss the project and start to develop concepts and mood boards. We prepare detailed drawings including material specifications and planting guides. Optionally, we can project manage the build phase ensuring strong communication between clients and contractors.
