landscape architect in maine
Site assessment, landscape consultation, and field-guided design grounded in soil, water, and long-term land use.
WHAT I DO
I work at the intersection of landscape, time, and use—helping clients understand how site conditions are shifting, and what that means for design, maintenance, and long-term resilience.
My work translates field observation into clear, grounded guidance.

selected FIELD work
field MEMO 01
Tidal Edge
A coastal edge where lawn and marsh compete for the same ground.
Observation revealed subtle shifts in drainage patterns and plant stress along exposed areas.
→ Key focus: water movement, salt exposure, edge stabilization
FIELD MEMO 2
Inland Succession
A previously cleared site showing early signs of natural regeneration.
Wear patterns suggested need for clearer paths and ground reinforcement.
→ Key focus: circulation, soil compaction, long-term durability
FIELD MEMO 3
Layered Ground
A rural landscape shaped by past use, but no longer organized by it.
Vegetation patterns indicated opportunities for structure and shelter.
→ Key focus: exposure, planting strategy, spatial definition
about
Each site carries its own logic—shaped by soil, water, vegetation, and time.
The work of Luria Studio is to make that logic visible, and to translate it into clear, grounded decisions about how a landscape should function and evolve.
Working with homeowners and institutions across Maine, the studio helps clarify how landscapes function—and how to move forward with confidence.
