Terrain is a landscape architecture firm based in New York City that creates award winning, ecologically integrated and socially treasured landscapes. Experience teaches us that carefully designed and conceived places have the power to positively impact the lives of individuals and communities that live, work, and play in our landscapes. Terrain embraces the energy of the city and magnifies the role of nature within it, creating transformative landscape spaces.

Terrain’s work is framed within an ecological context – each project, no matter its size, is part of a network of cultural and environmental connections. We actively search for opportunities to connect to and fortify local ecosystems, whether it be through the careful design of storm-water recycling systems, the thoughtful selection of materials, or the establishment of native plant communities and habitat. Equally important is the fostering of social connections and networks. Well designed landscapes have the power to bring together families, neighbors and strangers and replenish the self.
