Landscape Design for Residential and Commercial Projects
Studio 1NINE1 provides landscape design services across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects. Based in Toronto, we take on projects that require design leadership, shaping outdoor environments defined by enduring utility and deliberate beauty.

Each project is developed as part of a broader system, aligning site, architecture, and use so the landscape performs as well as it presents.
APPROACH:
Landscape design is approached with the same level of rigor as the interior. We focus on layout, material consistency, and long-term performance, ensuring the outdoor space functions as an extension of the architecture.
Grading, circulation, planting, and hardscape are resolved together, creating environments that are structured, usable, and built to age well.
WHY THIS APPROACH MATTERS:
Outdoor spaces are often treated as an afterthought, added once the architecture is complete. This leads to disjointed layouts, inefficient use of space, and decisions that don’t hold up over time.
We work differently. By aligning the landscape early with the architecture and interior, the result is more coherent, more functional, and more durable.
SCOPE:
Landscape design services typically include:
Site planning and layout
Grading and circulation strategies
Hardscape design and material selection
Planting design
Outdoor kitchens and amenity planning
Pool, terrace, and courtyard integration
Site furnishings and integrated elements
Coordination with contractors and consultants
PROJECT TYPES:
We work across a range of landscape project types, including:
Residential gardens and full property redesigns
New build landscapes
Multi-residential and shared outdoor spaces
Hospitality and commercial environments
Integrated interior and exterior projects
INTEGRATION:
Where projects include both interior and landscape design, we approach them as a single system. This allows for consistency in materials, alignment in layout, and a more cohesive overall result.
HOW WE WORK:
We are typically engaged early to align the landscape with the architecture and interior design. This reduces rework and ensures the project is resolved as a whole rather than in phases.
Projects are taken on a limited basis, with priority given to full-scope and early-stage work.
Outdoor space should feel intentional, not added on. Structured, usable, and built to last.
If you’re planning a project and are looking for design leadership from the outset, we can begin with a discovery call to review scope, timeline, and next steps.
