About Ten Eyck Landscape Architects

Ten Eyck Landscape Architects (TELA) has spent nearly three decades creating ecologically restorative outdoor spaces that foster community healing. Based in Austin, Texas, with origins in Phoenix, Arizona, founder Christine Ten Eyck, FASLA and her fourteen-person studio take a regional approach to the landscapes of the American Southwest, sparking conversations around pressing ecological issues through people- and place-based design. Drawing from extensive experience and intimate environmental knowledge, TELA transforms overlooked project sites into vibrant environments that stimulate the senses and unify communities, prioritizing native plant species, water harvesting technologies, and durable materials expressed through form, color, and texture. Their approach combines ecological sensitivity with beauty and inclusivity, creating landscapes that are resilient, accessible, and deeply rooted in history and community. Notable projects include the San Antonio Botanical Garden, Historic Pearl Brewery Park and Cellars, University of Texas at El Paso Campus Transformation, Harwood Park in downtown Dallas, and Kingsbury Commons at Pease Park in Austin.
