MT Landscape DesignAn independent landscape architecture studio based in Genoa.
Specialising in landscape strategy, planting design, gardens and outdoor spaces for residential and hospitality projects across Italy and internationally. We design gardens that take root in their place, respond to the climate and mature over time.
Everything starts with the desire for a garden. Maybe you want to create a truly beautiful garden. Maybe you believe that a good landscape can change the way a space is perceived — and the way it is lived in.
You don’t need to know about plants, irrigation, materials or the technical side of the build.
Tell us how you would like to live in this space, how you imagine using it and how you want it to feel.
Every place has its own conditions, just as every person has their own way of living.
We want to create gardens that are not simply beautiful, but that belong to the place and to the people who live in them.
What we do —
and do well
Creating beautiful gardens suited to today’s climate
We start with sunlight, wind, water, soil and local growing conditions to create landscapes that truly belong to their setting and can thrive over time.
Designing planting systems that are easier to manage
Through plant communities, ground-cover strategies and long-term development planning, we consider future maintenance from the very beginning of the design process.
Creating truly comfortable outdoor living spaces
Shade, privacy, circulation, scale and patterns of use are considered together, creating outdoor spaces that are comfortable to use and become part of everyday life.
We care about what happens
after completion.
Plants grow, spread, compete and renew themselves. The way a garden is used also changes over time.
That is why, from the design stage, we define how the planting should develop and how it can be managed according to the level of maintenance the client is willing to commit to over time.
After completion, we can continue working with the gardener and construction team through periodic observations, care guidance and targeted adjustments, helping the garden mature in the intended direction.
“A garden is not truly finished when construction ends.”
We want to help you create a garden you’ll want to live in.

Your garden
should reflect who you are.
A garden should not simply be “the designer’s work”.
It should respond to the architecture, the character of the land and the people who live there.
Some people want a quiet corner for reading.
Some want to have dinner outdoors with friends.
Some need space where children can move freely.
And some simply want to open the door in the morning and watch the plants change with the seasons.
These real moments of everyday life are the true starting point of the design.
An independent studio, with an open and collaborative way of working.
MT Landscape Design is an independent landscape architecture studio.
Depending on the scale and needs of each project, we collaborate with architects, contractors, gardeners, nurseries, lighting consultants, suppliers and other specialists, bringing different disciplines together around one coherent landscape vision.

Specialist ConsultantsBased in Liguria
MT Landscape Design is based in Genoa and works across Liguria and the rest of Italy on private gardens, terraces, residential properties and hospitality projects.
Depending on the project, we also offer remote early-stage consultation and design collaboration.
Every garden begins with a conversation about how you want to live.
If you are considering a new garden, a terrace, or simply want to rethink the potential of an existing outdoor space, we can begin by talking about the place and how you would like to live in it.
