Hollander has won multiple prestigious ICAA awards (Arthur Ross, Stanford White, Acanthus); is an elected Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects, one of the society’s highest honors; and his work has been photographed for Architectural Digest, Galerie, Veranda, and other publications.

Hollander’s firm is responsible for hundreds of idyllic landscapes, both public and private, including the landscaped terrace wrapping 55 Hudson Yards; the Reach at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; John Steinbeck Waterfront Park in Sag Harbor; and Sagamore Pendry hotel in Baltimore. He’s also on the board of the New York Restoration Project, a nonprofit founded by Bette Midler to create beautiful public spaces in New York City.
