Nature Landscape Architects
BIM and Landscape Design

Designed by Nature. Sustained by Us.

BIM and landscape design for projects that endure, from the first concept line to the final as-built record. Accurate, coordinated, construction-ready.

Studio Showreel

Landscapes, modelled to be built.

Who We Are

The technical backbone behind exceptional landscapes.

Nature Landscape Architects (NLA) is a specialist landscape architecture and BIM documentation studio based in Kerala, India, with a client studio serving the UAE. We are a specialist documentation studio serving landscape architects, developers, and multi-disciplinary teams. Our BIM professionals translate design intent into technically accurate, construction-ready documentation, with the quality standards and turnaround times demanding projects require.

From residential gardens to large-scale public masterplans, we reduce project risk, improve coordination, and streamline construction, at highly competitive prices.

Our Vision

A future where every landscape is designed, documented, and delivered through intelligent models.

Outdoor environments deserve the same digital rigour as buildings. Our vision is to set the benchmark for landscape BIM: every tree, path, and water line modelled with intent, coordinated without friction, and handed over as living data that serves the project long after construction ends.

How We Work

From brief to build, without the noise.

01

Understand

We read the design intent first, from drawings and references to standards and site, so the model serves the design, not the other way around.

02

Model & Coordinate

LOD-controlled Revit models, clash-checked against every discipline and kept live as the design moves. No drift between drawing and model.

03

Deliver

Stage documentation, schedules, and as-built records issued on programme: packages a contractor can build from without a phone call.

The Team

The minds shaping exceptional landscapes.

A studio of 20+ professionals: architects, senior architects, BIM specialists, 3D modellers, CAD drafters, landscape designers, and technical experts working together to deliver high-quality landscape architecture projects.

Landscape BIM & Design

A landscape architecture and BIM studio built for buildable design.

Nature Landscape Architects (NLA) is a specialist landscape architecture and BIM documentation studio based in Kerala, India, working with landscape architects, developers, and multi-disciplinary teams across India and the Gulf. We turn landscape design intent into precise, coordinated, construction-ready BIM models and drawing packages.

Outdoor environments deserve the same digital rigour as buildings. Where many teams still document landscape in flat CAD, we model it intelligently in Revit: every tree, path, planter, water line, and level modelled with intent and coordinated live against architecture, structure, MEP, and lighting. The result is landscape documentation that a contractor can build from without guesswork, and a data-rich model that keeps serving the project long after handover.

What we do

Our work spans the full landscape delivery pipeline. In BIM modelling, we build high-fidelity Revit models developed from LOD 100 to LOD 400 (concept massing through fabrication-level detail) with landscape-specific families for hardscape, softscape, water features, and site furniture, authored to your BIM Execution Plan (BEP) with COBie parameters for structured handover. In stage documentation, we produce complete model-driven drawing packages from concept and schematic design through detailed design (DD50 and DD100), construction documentation, tender sets, and as-built records. Our coordination and quantities service delivers clash detection, multi-disciplinary coordination, model-based quantity take-offs, and precise 2D CAD output. And through BIM staffing, we embed qualified Revit and landscape BIM specialists directly into your team, on demand or long term, working to your standards, templates, and time zone.

Where we work

We are based in Kerala, India, and serve clients across India and the United Arab Emirates, with a UAE studio opening soon to support our Gulf partners. Our project experience includes large-scale infrastructure such as the 25 km Mid Island Parkway corridor in Abu Dhabi, and residential landscape delivery on Dubai Creek Harbour plots for Emaar. We collaborate with developers, consultants, and landscape practices including Emaar, Mirage, South Landscape, Parsons, and Mila.

Why landscape teams work with us

Landscape is not an afterthought for us; it is the whole discipline. Our team is landscape-literate, not generalists borrowing a template, which means models and drawings that respect how planting, grading, hardscape, and water actually come together on site. We work to your standards and inside your programme, we keep the model and the drawings in lockstep so nothing drifts, and we run a QA/QC check before every submission. For studios facing submission peaks, our staffing model scales capacity up and down without the overhead of hiring.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is landscape BIM?
Landscape BIM is Building Information Modelling applied to outdoor environments. Instead of drawing landscape in flat 2D CAD, the site is modelled intelligently in software such as Revit (hardscape, softscape, planting, water features, grading, and site elements) so drawings, schedules, and quantities all come from one coordinated model. It reduces errors, improves coordination with other disciplines, and produces data-rich deliverables for construction and handover.
What does Nature Landscape Architects do?
Nature Landscape Architects is a landscape architecture and BIM documentation studio in Kerala, India. We provide landscape BIM modelling (LOD 100–400), stage documentation, multi-disciplinary coordination and quantity take-offs, and BIM staffing for masterplans, public parks, podium landscapes, residential communities, and infrastructure corridors, serving clients across India and the UAE.
What is LOD 100 to LOD 400 in BIM?
LOD (Level of Development) describes how detailed and reliable a BIM element is. LOD 100 is conceptual massing, LOD 200 is approximate geometry, LOD 300 is precise design-intent geometry, and LOD 400 adds fabrication and assembly detail. We develop landscape models across this range depending on the project stage, from early concept through construction-ready detail.
Do you work with international clients and other time zones?
Yes. We are based in Kerala, India, and work with clients across India and the Gulf, with a UAE studio opening soon. Our BIM staffing and documentation services are delivered to your standards, templates, and time zone, which makes us a practical extension of design teams in the UAE and beyond.
Which software and standards do you work to?
We work primarily in Autodesk Revit for BIM, alongside CAD tools for 2D output and coordination platforms for clash detection. We deliver to your BIM Execution Plan (BEP), follow your modelling and naming standards, populate COBie parameters for handover, and programme deliverables against the project MIDP.
How do I get a quote for a landscape BIM project?
Send us your project details (scope, stage, approximate size, and timeline) through our contact page, and we typically respond within one working day with scope, timeline, and a clear fee proposal. You can also ask NLA Bot on this site to guide you through requesting a quotation.
