CAO PERROT is a design studio based in Los Angeles, combining landscape architecture with artistic practice to create environments that blend sculpture, planting, and light. Over more than a decade, the duo has produced intimate gardens, public art installations, park designs, and site-specific projects, aiming to evoke dreamlike experiences in outdoor spaces. Their work often incorporates unconventional materials and light, focusing on the act of making and the presence of light and silence within a landscape setting. Notable projects include large-scale collaborations such as a 7.5-hectare expansion for Swarovski Kristallwelten and gardens or art interventions at sites like Versailles, Luxembourg Garden, the Tuileries, and Dumbarton Oaks, reflecting an international scope despite a concentrated practice in the design field. The firm is led by two formally trained landscape architects who emphasize intuition and serendipity in shaping environments that invite contemplation rather than conform to prevailing design trends.
