WHAT WE DO
How do we turn complex ecological and territorial dynamics into long-term landscape strategies?
At Erika Skabar Landscape Planning and Design we supporte clients as landscape strategists in early and complex decision-making processes.
We operate at the intersection of landscape, environment, infrastructure and the public realm, where global pressures become tangible and spatial decisions shape long-term performance. Our work focuses on structuring landscape decisions in complex projects, where environmental systems, infrastructure, and long-term use must be aligned.
Landscape is used as a strategic layer to reduce uncertainty, coordinate disciplines, and guide choices from early concept through implementation.
LANDSCAPE AS A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
We work on landscape where it plays a structural role in shaping territories, cities, and systems over time.
Our work supports decision-making, coordinates complexity, and ensures that environmental and spatial choices remain effective as conditions evolve.
We operate across scales, from territorial frameworks to site-specific design, always with a long-term perspective.
OUR CORE AREAS OF WORK
1. Landscape Strategy & Spatial Frameworks
We develop landscape strategies that act as reference structures for complex projects.
This includes:
- territorial and urban landscape frameworks
- green and blue infrastructure systems
- ecological connectivity and open-space structures
- landscape-driven masterplans
Our work provides a clear spatial logic that guides subsequent design phases and interdisciplinary coordination.
2. Landscape, Health & Care Environments
We design and advise on landscapes for health care, and research environments, where spatial quality directly affects well-being.
This includes:
- hospital and research campuses
- therapeutic outdoor environments
- landscapes supporting prevention, recovery, and everyday use
- integration of health facilities within wider ecological systems
Landscape is conceived as an active component of health, not as an accessory.
3. Post-Industrial and Large-Scale Transformations
We work on complex transformations of post-industrial and infrastructural sites, where landscape is a key driver of long-term regeneration.
This includes:
- former industrial districts
- large redevelopment areas
- hybrid urban–infrastructural environments
Landscape frameworks help structure change over time, manage uncertainty, and support phased implementation.
4. Infrastructure & Environmental Systems Integration
We integrate landscape with transport, utility, and infrastructural systems, ensuring environmental performance and spatial coherence.
This includes:
- infrastructural landscapes
- port and coastal systems
- linear infrastructures and corridors
- climate adaptation and water management strategies
Landscape acts as a mediator between technical systems and lived environments.
5. Multi-Scale Design & Long-Term Processes
We work across scales and timeframes, supporting projects from early strategic phases to implementation.
This includes:
- early-stage advisory and concept definition
- multi-scale coordination from territory to site
- phasing and long-term landscape management strategies
Our approach supports projects that must remain meaningful and adaptable over time.
HOW WE ADD VALUE
Our work helps clients to:
- clarify complex spatial and environmental decisions
- reduce uncertainty in long-term projects
- coordinate multiple disciplines through a shared landscape framework
- ensure environmental responsibility without compromising functionality
Landscape becomes a tool for structure, continuity, and future performance.
WORKING CONTEXT
We collaborate with:
- public authorities and institutions
- research and healthcare organizations
- international design teams
- developers and client-side project managers
Our role adapts to the project context, acting as strategic advisor, lead landscape designer, or integrated team partner.
