Dutch urban design and landscape architecture firm
The Netherlands has been leading the charge in the world of architecture over the last several years, and the landscape work of this firm is right out in front as well producing some of the most interesting contemporary landscapes.

West 8 is skillful at the juxtaposition and arrangements of materials; hardscape, plantings and objects. Like their compatriot, architect Rem Koolhaus, they are interested in the extremes of scale creating designs that are both bold and subtle. Their work blurs the boundaries between landscape, infrastructure, architecture and engineering, and often transforms the common and banal into the extraordinary.
