OvS’ history is chronicled in a series of books. Internationally, we are implementing a Landscape Master Plan for the American Museum in Britain in Bath, UK.Įstablished by landscape architectural pioneers Wolfgang Oehme (1930-2011) and James van Sweden (1935-2013), OvS is led today by Principals Lisa Delplace, FASLA, Chief Executive Officer Sheila Brady, FASLA, Vice President and, Eric Groft, FASLA, Vice President. In Fishtail, Montana, OvS is planning and designing multiple facets of Tippet Rise Art Center, a performing arts and sculpture park. National Memorial, and the Virginia Avenue Gardens of the Federal Reserve in Washington, DC. Our public commissions include multiple gardens at Chicago Botanic Garden, and the campuses of the The National World War II Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. We have designed country horse farms in Virginia, and urban town homes in Portland, Oregon Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC. OvS’ residential portfolio includes coastal waterfront estates throughout Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts Newport and Jamestown in Rhode Island Greenwich and seaside villages in Connecticut and in Easton, St. Our body of work ranges from urban redevelopments, monumental civic spaces, and institutions to arboreta, botanic gardens, and sculpture parks to estates and urban residences. This approach can be applied at any scale – whether it’s a ten-foot-square city garden or a ten thousand-acre expanse. The New American Garden boldly reveals the ephemeral through mystery, intrigue, and discovery. Our designs embrace the seasonality of the American meadow and magnify ecological systems, sustainable processes, and aesthetic values. Within this framework, we infuse botanical expression in the form of color, texture, movement, and fragrance. Thoughtfully-constructed paths, terraces, walls, fences, and arbors organize the land and provide elegance to everyday function. Our firm transformed the field of landscape architecture with the New American Garden style of design, distinguished by a balance of horticultural complexity and architectural craftsmanship. The result is a contextually-appropriate, high-performance composition that connects people to the land. We explore the ecology, culture, and history of each landscape and fuse art, science, and humanity to distill its form and amplify its function. OEHME, VAN SWEDEN | OvS is a diverse group of landscape architects, horticulturalists, designers, creative thinkers, and collaborators.
