The office Sarig Vaxman Landscape Architecture, was founded by Prof. Landscape Architect Gideon Sarig, one of the founders of the landscape architecture industry in Israel. Our office has been active for more than four decades in which we have acquired extensive experience in landscape and urban planning for all types of different plans.
The projects we deal with include: national outline plans, local outline plans, city building plans, metropolitan parks, urban parks, national parks, neighbourhood planning and unique projects such as the preservation of historic gardens. All projects incorporate interdisciplinary planning that includes professional coordination in the fields of engineering, hydrology, environment, ecology, infrastructure systems and more.
Above all, we believe that at the basis of planning are always the users – the person and the society in all its shades. It is this vision that gives popularity to many projects we have carried out, and makes them alive and vibrant throughout the years. Landscape architects, architects and engineers work together in our office.
For its work in the field of landscape planning in Israel, the firm won awards, including the Caravan Award, the Pharmacist Award, the Magash Israel Yaffe Award, and more.

Gideon Sarig, who founded his landscape architecture office in 1971, was given the unique privilege of making a deep mark on the physical landscape of Israel. The years of his activity coincide with the years of fundamental demographic and geographic changes in the country's landscape, years of creating a hegemonic Israeli landscape, of the social construction of the concept of landscape and of giving content and meaning to the concept for the country's diverse population. Sarig is a clear representative of the state generation in Israeli landscape architecture.
A review of his life history and the variety of projects he planned reveals his great influence on the landscape of the country: the establishment of the national parks and the recreation system in the forest areas, the protection of open areas, the construction of new cities, community settlements and observatories, the rehabilitation of neighbourhoods in the development cities, the creation of open urban spaces: parks, boulevards and gardens, and the restoration of urban public spaces, such as boulevards, city squares and streets. His work is impressive in its scope, its spatial scope, its national scope and its long period of time, about fifty years.
In his work, he combines a modernist approach to landscape planning as it originates from his studies in the United States, a deep affinity for the Israeli landscape and a great sensitivity to people. As an educator and public figure, Sarig left his mark not only on the physical landscape, but also on the human and cultural landscape by educating generations of students and young landscape architects.
