Archscape

Archscape is a multidisciplinary landscape architecture studio recognized for creating outdoor environments that are purposeful, resilient, and deeply responsive to their context. Known for its analytical approach and refined design execution, the studio has been named one of Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100 Landscape Partners of the World, highlighting its passion for contemporary landscape and urban design.

Founded by a team of architects, landscape designers, and urban planners, Archscape approaches each project as an integrated system rather than a stylistic exercise. The studio’s work is shaped by a strong belief that landscape architecture gains meaning when it responds intelligently to its surroundings, its users, and the long-term needs of the environment. This philosophy is reflected in projects that balance design structure, ecological awareness, and everyday usability.

Archscape’s methodology begins with a detailed diagnostic phase that explores topography, climate, vegetation, water behavior, circulation patterns, and social context. This research-driven process enables the team to design landscapes that are visually coherent, environmentally responsible, and built to perform over time. Instead of applying predefined aesthetics, Archscape develops site-specific design languages supported by native planting strategies, climate-responsive material selections, and practical maintenance considerations.

The studio operates across a wide range of scales, offering landscape architecture, urban planning, and architectural design services. Its portfolio includes private residential landscapes, leisure and hospitality developments, public spaces, and large-scale urban projects. Across all typologies, Archscape prioritizes spatial continuity, user comfort, and long-term adaptability.

Notable projects such as Residência KLL – Cotia 1119 – Vennezia, Riviera Verde Clube, and Boulevard São Roque demonstrate the studio’s ability to respond with precision to varied programmatic and environmental demands. Each project reflects a careful balance of hardscape and softscape elements, with attention to circulation, sightlines, microclimates, and overall experiential clarity.

Archscape is led by Gustavo Garrido, an architect and urban planner educated at the University of São Paulo (FAUUSP). Supported by a team of complementary professionals, the studio continues to contribute to Brazil’s evolving landscape practice through work grounded in restraint, contextual intelligence, and sustainable planning.
