Shma
means
Earth
Earth is more than just a planet. Earth gave birth to all living things including us, but while we are ling our lives, we are also damaging the world. It’s time for us to use our abilities to raise awareness and bring change for our one and only planet earth.
Earth
Challenge
In our current approach, we design to destroy, prioritizing man over nature, economic gain over community, and soulless monoliths over thriving ecosystems. This creates spaces that disconnect us from our kins, our Earth, and our own nature. It’s time to rethink. It’s time to design with and for the Earth—for the interconnected well-being of people, places, and the planet. We are Shma, and we are ready to brave the challenge to reshape any environment anew—to nurture and uplift ecologies alongside global societies. Let us together transform our spaces into “places of life” and bring the world to a place of inclusivity, sustainability, and resilience.
Better Earth.
Better Future.
Shma means Earth, the birthplace of all life including us. We envision “a better Earth of the future,” where the power of landscape architecture is leveraged as a catalyst for broader social and environmental transformation. We aspire to shape “places of life” that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate and adapt to future challenges, guided by principles of inclusivity, sustainability, and resilience.
We Transform
Space into Place
Shma believes in the power of landscape architecture to transform our lives and our world. We put life into design and design into life to enable change for the well-being of people and the planet. This requires an ecosystem of change and a growing process that takes time, care, and collaboration. Our mission is to push the boundaries of what our craft can achieve—to break boundaries and bridge possibilities of a better Earth of the future.
Expertise
Sustainability Based Landscape Design
We design with sensitivity to each site’s ecology, aiming to minimize disruption and become an active part of long-term environmental restoration. Our work embraces the responsibility to heal and enhance ecosystems through thoughtful, sustainable interventions.
Master Planning and Urban Vision
We craft urban strategies and master plans that foster belonging, biodiversity, and vibrancy. By understanding local contexts and ecosystems, we integrate people-centered design and programmatic planning to turn spaces into living, thriving places.
Ecology Based and Planting Design
Through ecological understanding and plant expertise, we create biodiverse green environments that are functional, resilient, and low-maintenance. Our innovative planting strategies bring together sustainability, aesthetic value, and ecosystem support.
Construction Management
We ensure construction excellence by aligning every detail with the original design intent. From material selection to on-site supervision, we prioritize sustainable solutions, beauty, and technical precision for long-term performance.
Research
We integrate research into every project, studying local conditions and broader urban dynamics to strengthen design solutions. Our work is grounded in evidence and constantly evolving through insights gathered from communities and contexts.
Computation Design
We apply computational tools and AI-driven technology to elevate landscape design. From conceptual form-finding to realistic visualizations, our data-informed approach enhances decision-making and helps communicate complex ideas clearly.
Placemaking & Community Engagement
We collaborate across disciplines to gather diverse perspectives and co-create thoughtful solutions.Through participatory design, workshops, and interactive exhibitions, we engage with communities to uncover real needs and test new ideas in action. The feedback and insights collected help refine our designs to be more inclusive and impactful.
Media and Communication Design
We extend our design work through social media to share knowledge and promote sustainability. Using articles, infographics, videos, and documentaries, we communicate our experiences to the public, spark dialogue, and inspire collective action for a better future.
