APPROACH

Our goal is to develop modern site interventions that are minimal and sculptural... that ground and extend architecture... that promote sustainability... that articulate a message... that reflect the environment, people and culture... that are inspired by the spirit of a place.

We create landscapes that respond to place... R2P STUDIO.

R2P STUDIO is an exciting young landscape architectural practice based in New York City. We enjoy working collaboratively as a team with architects, engineers, developers, artists, fabricators and contractors, and our small studio size affords us the opportunity to do so.

Founded by David Russo in 2006, the office has built works in both the public and private realm, from temporary installations such as 'Birch Forest', to fully constructed sites. We believe that conceptual design thinking driven by an understanding of site and context adds a narrative layer to our work. This, together with a modern and sustainable design sensibility drives our approach. Demonstrated examples include 'Scarsdale Middle School' where an abstracted river speaks to the 3 rivers that often flood the county... 'NoHo Loft' where a rainforest understory is created beneath the forest of architectural columns and beams... 'Blue Building Green Roof' where deconstructionist forms are inspired by the iconic Bernard Tschumi building for which it is being designed.
