SCAPE Studio has won the American Society of Landscape Architects’s prestigious Landscape Architecture Firm Award. The award is the highest honor that ASLA grants landscape architecture firms, and recognizes those firms who have had a significant and lasting influence on landscape architecture.

SCAPE, which was founded by Kate Orff in 2005, has offices in New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has given its prestigious Landscape Architecture Firm Award to SCAPE, a landscape architecture and urban design practice known for creating outdoor spaces that are socially vibrant and ecologically restorative.

The SCAPE team comprises over 80 professionals led by five partners: Kate Orff, FASLA, Gena Wirth, FASLA, Alexis Landes, ASLA, John Donnelly, RLA, and Pippa Brashear, RLA.

“To receive an award that recognizes our body of work, our ethos and our collaborative approach is such an honor,” said Kate Orff. “We’re deeply appreciative of the teammates, clients, and peers who have been on this journey with us for two decades.”

The honor will be conferred at ASLA’s 2025 National Conference in New Orleans.
