SQLA Inc., Square Los Angeles Inc., is a Landscape Architecture, Site planning and Urban Design firm dedicated to the art and craft of creating engaging environments with lasting presence for living, work and play. Established by Samuel K. Kim in 1996, SQLA Inc. provides a full range of landscape architectural design services including site planning, urban design, site-specific design, construction documents, construction observation, administration, construction management and design/build. Under Samuel's leadership, the studio has employed inventive and creative design solutions to projects at a wide range of scales from large multi-family residential communities, to universities, commercial centers, intimate residential gardens, and meticulously crafted sculptural works.
SQLA's sister company, Landist Group, was established in 2002 to provide both design and construction services to our clients. While design/build is a growing leader in today's cost-conscious construction industry, it is actually a concept that is more than 4,000 years old, and based on the ancient concept of master builder who accepted full responsibility of a project from conception to completion. Design-build is an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build project delivery method and allows for one entity, one contract, and one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion, resulting in a more seamless process with outcomes that effectively reflect the original design intent.
