Allen Compton - SALT Landscape Architects
SALT Landscape Architects is a Los Angeles-based design studio that creates enduring, engaging, and innovative landscapes at a range of scales.The firm’s name, derived from “salt of the earth,” reflects the grounding and site-specific nature that we strive for in all of our projects. We believe well designed landscapes should be poetic, dynamic, and evolving, as well as ecologically sensitive. Our designs are rooted in the unique character of a site’s individual spatial qualities, environment, history and context. Our spaces express the specific enduring qualities of their distinctive location, serves the needs of the users, and connect visitors to the land and environment.
We believe collaboration produces better projects. We work closely with clients and communities to fully understand their objectives and desires for the project, carefully studying the existing environmental conditions such as microclimates, soil, topography, wind, and sun patterns that inform the final design. Through this collaboration, the innovative use of materials, the integration of sustainable strategies, and a sensitivity to the specific site, we create meaningful and memorable spaces.
SALT has worked on a wide range of project types and scales. Our client list includes the University of Southern California, Los Angeles Unified School District, the County of Los Angeles, California Institute of the Arts, the Trust for Public Land, East Valley Water District, Snapchat, and the Riyadh Metro in Saudi Arabia. SALT is also part of the team re-desiging Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles.
