About SLA
SLA is an award-winning, interdisciplinary nature-based design studio of 130 specialists working across three offices in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Aarhus. Bringing together twelve disciplines — including landscape architecture, urban planning, biology, anthropology, lighting design, ecology, architecture, planting expertise, and more — we work at the intersection of nature, people, and design.
We design cities, urban spaces, and new nature at every scale — from masterplans for new city districts to intimate pocket parks, from national biodiversity strategies to inclusive citizen engagement processes.
In recent years, SLA has experienced significant growth internationally and has established itself as one of the global leaders in nature-based design. Our culture is built on strong team spirit, constant curiosity, high ambitions, and a great degree of creative freedom.
