Christopher Buccino, ASLA

Founder | Principal

Landscape Architect

Chris studied urban design in Paris, extreme urbanism in Mumbai and urban theory in the Peruvian Amazon. He is passionate about cultivating big ideas and crafting fine details. His primary interest is the design of inspired, beautiful, enduring landscapes and places that embrace the complexity of climate shift adaptation and mitigation, blurring cultural and ecological functions.

While an Associate at STIMSON, he collaborated on national award winning projects throughout the country, including Phil Hardberger Park in San Antonio, Texas to Northeast Harbor, a private residence on Mount Desert Island in Maine. Prior to founding LANDSCHOP, he served as project manager for the Williams College Inn in Williamstown, MA, the Duke University Alumni Center in Raleigh, NC and Owenoke Residence, a private residence and garden in Westport, CT.

He received his Master of Landscape Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he was a finalist in the Harvard i-Lab Dean’s Cultural Entrepreneurship Challenge in 2013, and his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Florida, where he received a national ASLA Merit Award in 2008.

 
 
 
 
 

Oliver Buccino

Chief Happiness Officer

Ollie joined LANDSCHOP in 2021. He’s passionate about all things outdoors and will alert everyone that it’s time to go “Outside”. He loves to stare up at trees and observe the way the branches sway in the wind and dance across the sky. At night, he searches for the Moon. His current obsession is pumpkins, which we keep at our house through January. We know that before soon, he’ll be sketching with his dad in the studio.
