Soft Studio is a landscape design practice based in Oakland, California. We are plant lovers. With a conceptual approach centered in botanical exploration, SOFT STUDIO creates spaces that are spirited and tactile. Each garden is part of a greater ecological mosaic, inviting local fauna and inspiring curiosity. We collaborate with talented builders and thoughtfully source materials to make timeless and vibrant landscapes.
