LAAM is a landscape design studio, a project born in 2018 but which has its origins in the collaboration since university period between Lorenzo Acciai and Daniele Morini, Landscape Architects who carry out the activity based in Florence and Shanghai.
Their professional background of experiences with international influences blends into a dynamic, contemporary and essential style, with attention always paid to historical reality.
The power and uniqueness of natural elements is seen as leading element and guide during all the creativity process.
Convinced that at the basis of a good design there is the in-depth study of places and their history, elements capable of suggesting a coherent architecture, in harmony with the context, which enhances every peculiarity of the place, they love to distinguish their projects through the use of strong signs that animate each case.
Always takeing into consideration a sustainable and respectful design of the landscape through the usage of innovative techniques, local materials and native botanical species.
