AMBROSE LUK, PLA

ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL

Ambrose Luk is an Associate Principal at MFLA and a licensed Landscape Architect in the State of California. He earned his Master in Landscape Architecture degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design with distinction, a Bachelor of Science in Design in Architectural Studies degree from Arizona State University, and holds Associate of Applied Science degrees in Computer Graphic Design and Multimedia Web Design. He was awarded an ASLA Certificate of Merit.

Integral to MFLA since 2016, Ambrose has worked on a range of projects from concept design through construction administration, including commercial mixed-use developments, private residential gardens and estates, winery and hospitality environments, urban streetscapes design, and park master planning in the Bay Area, Southern California and Arizona.

Ambrose’s prior projects have cross-pollinated his background in visual design with landscape architecture. He was an illustrator of the book From Fallow: 100 Ideas for Abandoned Urban Landscapes, a research assistant and contributor for the Scottsdale Sustainable Systems Inventory that received an Arizona ASLA Professional Awards Honor in Communication and Research, and collaborated on way-finding signage design for San Francisco non-profit WalkStop with James Munden.

A native of metropolitan Hong Kong and the Arizona deserts, Ambrose draws inspiration from exploring contrasts between the built and unbuilt landscapes. His design philosophy aims to synthesize natural and urban environments into unexpected and enchanting experiences. Outside the studio, Ambrose documents artistic, botanical, architectural and culinary interests through photography, and recharges his creativity by swimming or soaking in bodies of water.
