LJ-Group

As cities grow and ecosystems shrink, landscape architecture has taken on a new kind of responsibility—one that extends beyond aesthetics to address climate adaptation, biodiversity, and the social fabric of urban life.

LJ-Group is part of this transformation. With studios in Vietnam, Brazil, and Portugal, and a portfolio of over 300 projects across three continents, the company works across scales to design outdoor spaces that are both resilient and inclusive. From modest interventions to large-scale masterplans, its work reflects a pragmatic yet thoughtful approach to contemporary landscape challenges.

This book brings together a selection of LJ-Group’s key projects, highlighting a landscape architecture that prioritizes people, environment, and long-term value. Through detailed visuals and concise commentary, it offers insight into how design can respond to complexity—with clarity, purpose, and care.

Through dedicated practice and research, LJ-Group strives to develop contemporary works focused on nature and communities by implementing sustainable systems that embrace the environment and its inhabitants.

From ephemeral pop-up interventions to urban scale landscape masterplans, our practice involves a wide variety of scales and programs, consistently aiming to achieve inspiring outdoor spaces with a genuine sense of place, fostering biodiversity and civic engagement.

We believe that design has the power to shape the culture and identity of cities, towns, and communities by enriching human experience and providing opportunities for development and interaction.

The studio’s collaborative design process aims to create distinctive solutions for each project, addressing the uniqueness of their context and purpose. We are committed to implementing sustainable systems, preserving natural resources, and encouraging community participation, which are key to generate lasting value for all parties involved.
