THLA is a landscape architecture studio dedicated to revealing the inherent beauty and structure of place. With a site-specific, adaptive approach, the studio shapes landscapes that feel both discovered and designed — thoughtful spaces where natural and built environments exist in quiet harmony.

The brand reflects this duality: the subtlety and sensitivity of working with the natural world alongside the clarity of experience that guides each design move. It feels grounded, yet never static — refined, yet never decorative.

This balance between intuition and precision is embodied in the logo design, which expresses two key ideas:

Form and character — The blend of curves and angles within the typography captures the studio’s philosophy. It’s not about conflict, but about synergy: architecture provides structure and usability, while landscape introduces fluidity and adaptability.

Meaning and metaphor — The shifting space between TH and LA becomes a visual metaphor for the practice itself, reflecting both the dynamic nature of the landscapes they shape and the adaptive, site-specific approach that defines their work.
