Working at SLA

We believe in a distinctly multidisciplinary approach to making livable and sustainable cities and value being a diverse workforce.

Together, we are more than 130 landscape designers, architects, urban planners, lighting designers, anthropologists, biologists, sociologists, computational designers, planting specialists, R&D/PhDs, philosophers, microclimate designers, and BIM managers working together to enrich projects with their interdisciplinary knowledge.

In SLA, we are driven by a genuine desire to understand and change the world. The studio is constantly seeking new insights and discovering new ways of doing things. This strengthens our competencies and enriches our projects.

To ensure an inspiring, learning, and sharing work environment, we have developed an internal R&D network called sLAB that everyone who works at SLA is a part of. The sLAB activities happen across our projects, teams, and offices and help us to continuously deliver the best possible results for our clients, our end-users, and our world.
