Since our inception in 2018, Tangent Landscape Architecture has been part of the transformative journey of landscape design across the Middle East. Much of what we do transcends mere aesthetics; we are architects of experience, visualizing environments that breathe life into communities and strengthen ties with the local culture.
At the core of Tangent’s philosophy lies a profound understanding of the UAE’s unique tapestry—its climate, culture, and context. Such regional insights fuel our innovative approach, allowing us to build spaces that are not only visually stunning but are deeply functional, enhancing the daily lives of those who inhabit them. Our designs are usually found at the crossroads of sustainability and innovation. We strive to build landscapes that tread lightly on the Earth while leaving a memorable mark on the human experience. Our designs are a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and urban life, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing environmental benefit.
Under the leadership of Rajeev R. Veedu, Tangent has contributed to the designs of open spaces, residences, plazas, streetscapes, and parks across the globe, demonstrating our ability to tackle projects of all scales and complexities. What really sets us apart is our holistic approach to service. We believe that excellence goes beyond just exceptional design; it’s about having a dedicated team committed to the end objective at every stage, from concept to supervision.
That’s why we emphasize heavily on the power of active listening. We integrate every stakeholder into the design process, from clients to development teams, consultants, contractors, and end-users, ensuring that whatever we think of deeply resonates with those who will inhabit them. This is accompanied by our own work approach – our studio pulsates with a vibrant, collaborative energy—a center for groundbreaking ideas and transformative landscapes.
Our expertise extends across a diverse spectrum of projects, from amusement parks and community spaces to infrastructure, commercial and residential buildings, educational institutions, museums, stadiums, and airports. The meaningful partnerships that we’ve forged along the way with both private and public clients, are brought together by a shared vision of bringing our larger-than-life ideas to fruition.
As we continue to grow and innovate, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering. We will continue to push the boundaries of landscape architecture, exploring new ideas, technologies, and techniques to create spaces that inspire, enrich, and endure the test of time.
