URBINOVA | LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

From purpose to a project that creates lasting value

Urbinova works with municipalities, institutions and interdisciplinary teams to shape public spaces through landscape architecture that responds to local character and long-term needs.

A changing city that preserves what matters

Cities and the places where we live are constantly changing. Meaningful change responds to the evolving needs of people and nature while preserving a place’s identity, memory and values. In this way, change can create environments that offer lasting value to people, nature and future generations.

The name Urbinova brings together the Latin words urbi (“for the city”) and nova (“new”). The idea of the city and renewal began to take shape in 2012, as the landscape architecture sector in Lithuania developed and global priorities evolved. In 2021, the idea took the form of a focused professional practice with the establishment of MB Urbinova.

That idea guides our approach to every assignment: understanding its purpose and setting, finding an appropriate direction and shaping it into a viable project that adapts to change, preserves local values and creates lasting value.

Each project begins with understanding the place

Every place has its own character and potential. We begin by asking: what should be preserved, what needs to change, and what value should that change create—and for whom?

The answers help clarify the project’s purpose, shape appropriate landscape design solutions and bring together the expertise it needs.

PURPOSE → UNDERSTANDING THE PLACE → PROJECT → IMPLEMENTATION → LASTING VALUE

What we can create together

Landscape architecture

We develop and coordinate landscape design solutions for public spaces, parks, squares, streetscapes and green corridors. Our work considers local character, people’s experience, vegetation, landform and water processes.

Project development and coordination

We help clarify project objectives, prepare design briefs, assess site conditions and coordinate landscape proposals with project stakeholders.

Implementation oversight

We contribute to project delivery by checking that works and materials comply with the design, recording any deviations and helping safeguard quality through to completion.

Interdisciplinary partnerships

We connect landscape architecture with education, research, ecology, climate action, health and social wellbeing. Depending on project goals, we collaborate with specialists and organisations across disciplines.

Partnerships for public-sector and international projects

We work with municipalities, educational and research institutions, public and non-governmental organisations, and interdisciplinary project teams. On matters relating to landscape architecture, public spaces, urban resilience, nature and communities, we contribute to shaping strategic directions and project concepts, as well as preparing funding applications for national and European Union programmes. We help connect local needs with programme priorities, potential partners and implementation opportunities.

Professional experience

MB Urbinova’s work is led by landscape architect Dovilė Ivanauskienė. She holds a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, has worked in the field since 2004 and serves on the board of the Lithuanian Association of Landscape Architects.

From 2021 to 2026, she worked at Vilnius City Parks (VšĮ „Vilniaus miesto parkai“), where she developed and coordinated solutions for public spaces, parks, squares, street planting and green corridors. She established the landscape architecture design department, brought together a specialist team and organised planning and design processes. She also contributed to project implementation oversight and prepared guidance on tree protection at construction sites. From 2023 to 2024, she served as acting director of the organisation.

Her experience supports a holistic view of each project—from site analysis, initial concept and strategic planning to coordinated solutions, collaborative work and high-quality delivery.
