Gardens as Art

Promoting the transformative power of horticulture.

AT RSI, we design beautiful, purposeful outdoor spaces that connect people, site, and season. Gardens elicit joy, soothe our souls, and become places where we interact with each other and the world around us. Our work layers botanical silhouettes and architectural styling to shape space and create settings that artfully blend the natural and built environments.

Based in North San Diego County, RSI Landscape Architecture continues its 26 year mission to create gardens that thrive and delight.

Chief designer Robert Seling, approaches his designs through a lens of intuition, sensory appeal, and architectural intuition. The context and style of our portfolio varies widely, but currents of Robert’s Southern California roots, coupled with a modernist approach, along with the studio’s vibrant talent, creates an active synergy that runs through all our work.

Robert’s two decades in the design-build industry has given him skills in construction, project management, and business. A brilliantLandscape Architect who uses plants as his creative medium, Robert continues to create award winning projects with an energy, quality, and artistry that is unparalleled in today’s industry.

Robert is the recipient of the 2017 Coronado Island Garden Club’s Garden of the Year.

Design without execution is merely a beautiful idea. For a landscape to be successful it must be informed by both a artisanal approach and a focus on craft; taking the conceptual and making it real. Design is an inspirational art, constantly evolving to challenge itself and stimulate change in the world around us. We understand the power of design to enhance experiences and use this knowledge to redefine conventional boundaries of style and scale to meet functional challenges posed by site and program.

Our design team is responsible for balancing ambition with logic, beauty with performance, all the while listening closely to the nature of each context— architecture, site, and client. The resulting landscapes are graceful interventions replete with sensory delight and organizational logic.
