Landscape Architecture

Connecting People, Place, and Purpose Through Meaningful Design

Landscape Architecture:
Creating Resilient, Inclusive Spaces That Connect People, Place, and Purpose

Akana’s landscape architecture team is rooted in community engagement, cultural respect, and environmental resilience. From revitalizing urban community centers to partnering with Tribal Nations to protect and share First Foods, our design process uplifts voices often excluded from conventional planning.

Through workshops, surveys, and on-site experiences, we co-create spaces that reflect shared values, traditions, and environmental goals. Across diverse landscapes, Akana integrates sustainability, functionality, and beauty—fostering places for healing, education, ceremony, and community resilience.
