At Onland we design contemporary buildings, interiors, and civic projects that celebrate shared space, sculptural form, and context- both metropolitan and rural.

Our team is focused on collaborations with clients and groups who share our belief that great design springs from smart questions.

We bring formal, material, and technical rigor to the table. Yet we believe in personal connections and long-lasting relationships with the communities and individuals we work with.

Prior to launching Onland, Principal Architect Landon Brown was Studio Director of Toshiko Mori Architect. He was also co-founder and Director of VisionArc, a strategic design, research, and visualization consultancy working at the nexus of the built environment, natural resources, and social cohesion.
