Services Offered
The practice of Scott Lewis Landscape Architecture (SLLA) is founded on a distinct appreciation for each site’s unique characteristics. The firm’s philosophy is to combine an emphasis on site sensitivity with a clear understanding of client objectives, an appreciation of architectural intent and an interest in progressive materials. SLLA solutions both engage the user and enhance the landscape.
The office, established in 1993 in San Francisco, provides complete landscape architectural design services, including master planning, site planning and design, construction management and post-construction site guidance. SLLA areas of expertise include estates, roof gardens, wineries, residences, public sites, historic properties and institutional projects. SLLA work has been published widely, and has received national and local honors from the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Scott R. Lewis, Principal, and the firm’s professional staff have extensive experience in managing complex commissions that require broad technical sophistication. SLLA’s projects typically demand intensive service and a single-source overview of site work. The office collaborates closely with other design consultants. These cohesive partnerships are evident in SLLA-designed estates, historic gardens and institutional sites in the Western United States.

Parkside Garden
Bordering a wooded park, this garden blends modern forms and lush plantings. SLLA designed a wedge-shaped terrace to visually widen the site and extend the home’s living area. The art studio was encased in an ivy-covered framework, creating a green cube focal point. The home’s modern interior is reflected in the garden’s contemporary shapes.
