Plantar is a strategic territorial design consultancy where architecture, landscape, and planning converge to shape public spaces, urban developments, and destinations

Plantar

Trajectory

Founded in 2016 by Luciana Pitombo and Felipe Stracci, Plantar emerges from the integration of architecture, urbanism, and landscape design, with a focus on qualifying open spaces as essential infrastructures for contemporary cities, developments, and territories.

Our practice spans from strategic planning and feasibility structuring to the design of landscapes, architecture, and spatial systems, integrating territorial insight, technical rigor, and design sensibility. We work on parks, neighborhoods, real estate developments, tourist destinations, and public spaces — understood not as isolated objects, but as living territorial assets, designed to function, evolve, and endure over time.

Throughout our trajectory, we have built strong expertise in large-scale public projects, concessions, and public-private partnerships, with particular emphasis on our role in the PMI process and the Intervention Master Plan for Ibirapuera Park, a national reference in public space management. This experience has expanded our scope toward models that integrate design, operation, and long-term vision.

Today, Plantar structures its work through specialized verticals, while maintaining a strong authorial core in architecture, landscape, and territorial design, and developing strategic units focused on performance, feasibility, activation, and impact. This structure allows us to deepen expertise, incorporate new capabilities, and address complex challenges without diluting identity, authorship, or technical quality. More than designing spaces, Plantar structures processes and territories capable of sustaining use, management, and value over time.

Our work bridges strategy and poetry, technique and experience, nature and city — creating places that connect people, build belonging, and remain relevant.

By integrating strategy, feasibility, design, and operations, we transform landscape into economic infrastructure and urban space into lasting legacy. Working at the intersection of rationality and sensitivity, we align capital, territory, and permanence to generate sustainable, reputational, and financial value at scale.
