Ten Eyck Landscape Architects

Since 1997, Ten Eyck Landscape Architects (TELA) has connected the urban dweller with nature and each other through civic, institutional, commercial, residential, and mixed-use urban infill landscape architecture projects. Our studio—based in Austin, Texas since 2007, and previously in Phoenix, Arizona—leads design innovation in the region and illustrates the capacity for place-based urban landscape architecture to address pressing global issues such as drought, climate mitigation and aging infrastructure. TELA is dedicated to creating restorative outdoor environments that are infused with natural beauty, provide habitat, purify air and water, help mitigate climate, encourage social interaction, and foster human healing. Recognizing the complexities of this endeavor, our collaborative thirteen-person team works closely with architects, engineers, ecologists, and clients to generate historically sensitive and socially, financially, structurally, and environmentally sustainable environments. From site planning through construction, TELA draws from extensive experience and intimate knowledge of place to transform ordinary outdoor urban spaces into authentic, vibrant landscapes that stimulate the senses and unify communities.
