Loro Restaurants
Hospitality Landscape | Austin • Dallas • Houston, Texas
VERDI contributed landscape architecture and site planning services for three Loro restaurant locations across Texas. Each project presented a unique opportunity to shape the outdoor experience through thoughtful planting, site integration, and collaboration with the architectural and engineering teams.
Loro Austin
Preserving Heritage Trees & Creating Outdoor Gathering Spaces
At Loro's South Lamar location, the landscape design centered on preserving existing heritage trees and integrating them into a relaxed outdoor dining environment. Planting, landscape lighting, and thoughtfully arranged gathering spaces helped establish a welcoming setting that connects the restaurant to its distinctive Austin surroundings.

Loro Houston
Reimagining a Historic Church as an Outdoor Dining Destination
The renovation of an existing church building presented an opportunity to create an inviting outdoor experience that complemented the character of the original architecture. Landscape design helped define comfortable seating areas, soften transitions between the building and outdoor spaces, and establish a cohesive setting for dining and gathering.
Loro Dallas
Connecting a New Restaurant to Its Urban Setting
For this new-build restaurant, the landscape design focused on introducing trees and planting that would establish scale, provide shade as they mature, and connect the development to its surrounding urban environment. The landscape brings a sense of continuity and character to the site while supporting an inviting outdoor dining experience.
