SLA

SLA is a nature-based design studio founded in 1994, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Oslo. It employs 130 people of more than fifteen nationalities across twelve disciplines — from landscape architects and city planners to ecologists, anthropologists and forest engineers — and has projects running in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.

The studio is owned by a partner group of three senior partners — founding partner Stig L. Andersson, architect and chief executive Mette Skjold, and landscape architect and design principal Rasmus Astrup — together with ten partners and seven associate partners. Its method is continuous scientific research into the processes of nature, applied to the hardest urban challenges, and it is a founding signatory of Architects Declare Denmark and a member of the United Nations Global Compact.
