Creative landscape architecture is about finding a connection and balance between the natural, technological and human worlds. Well-designed landscapes offer spaces for recreation, relaxation and social interactions, promoting mental and physical health.

Our landscape architects design schemes that produce a wide range of benefits, including managing stormwater and stimulating economic activity, social and emotional wellbeing,  supporting habitat restoration, improving air quality and providing shade from intense heat.

We help clients to analyse, imagine, design and deliver thoughtful, regenerative schemes – developing everything from cities to parklands and urban public realm around commercial, corporate, residential and transport projects. By balancing functionality, beauty, safety, accessibility and environmental sensitivity, landscape architecture can shape sustainable, thriving and enjoyable urban and rural environments. Together with our architecture, urban design ecological, planning, transport specialists, we deliver projects spanning strategic development plans, masterplans for new cities, districts and mixed-use developments, major infrastructure projects as well as streetscapes, public realm and green building solutions.

Landscape architecture can also function as a design corrective, providing nature-based solutions to day-to-day issues. Our team develops landscape strategies and frameworks at city or district level to address urban challenges such as car use, climate resilience, air pollution, urban heat islands, encouraging economic activity while improving people’s connection with nature and access to active travel.

Inclusive landscape design

The way our towns and cities are planned or developed, often reflects historic injustices to less powerful or privileged groups – whether by race, religion, wealth or any other aspect. Landscape architecture can play a powerful role as we address these issues, reconnecting separated communities, providing shared green spaces that can be enjoyed by all groups, ages and abilities or active travel options like bike networks that bring groups back into a shared environment.

Every context has its own story and its own ambitions. Our work begins by engaging with community bodies, indigenous groups, specialists and local experts to consider the experiences and desired outcomes of different cultures, races and gender identities. We always aim to fully understand the issues across many user groups, from accessibility to perceptions of safety. We co-create places that improve people’s quality of life for the long-term.
