DFLA was established in 2001 and today is one of Ireland’s most innovative and successful landscape architecture practices. After two decades of 'observing and intervening', recent forays into the circular economy have led the practice toward an artistic expression of the environmental sciences; exploring themes of chronology, abandonment, embodied cognition, craft, imperfection, and ecology in experimental and built work in Ireland and further afield. Our mission is to push the boundaries of landscape architecture by addressing the complex and inter-related array of client, user, economic and environmental requirements on any given site and deliver external environments which improve the quality of life for those who experience them. The practice has received awards internationally for built work, research, conservation, and conceptual work.
