JOLA designs spaces where life happens: playgrounds, schools, parks, plazas, corporate campuses, streetscapes, communities, eco-resorts and cemeteries. Using simple geometry and natural materials, our designs engage the senses while promoting contemplation, relaxation, creativity and play. We specialize in integrating landscape, architecture, site engineering and infrastructure to produce a multi-functional design addressing the needs of all users, while conserving the natural resources to the greatest extent possible. JOLA focuses on producing an environmentally green and sustainable landscape - integrating sustainable design strategies into all of our designs. Native plant ecology and water efficiency are an inherent part or our landscape and irrigation design.
