Studio

Studio

Strategic. Spatial. Fully resolved.

The studio works across garden design, planting design, landscape strategy and detailed external planning.

Projects are developed alongside architecture, allowing the landscape to shape the overall composition from the outset.

Each scheme is refined through a considered process of planning and resolution, resulting in landscapes that feel calm, coherent and fully resolved.

What we do

Calm, considered, fully resolved.

We design and realise landscapes as a continuation of the architecture, where structure is defined through built form and atmosphere is shaped through planting and material.

The aim is to create gardens that feel calm, considered and fully resolved.

Process

Coherent from outset to completion.

Projects are developed alongside the architecture, allowing the landscape to shape the overall composition from the outset.

The design is refined through a considered process of planning and resolution, resulting in landscapes that feel clear, coherent and fully resolved.

Planting

Structure, atmosphere, seasonal depth.

Planting is developed as part of the wider composition, not applied as a separate layer.

It provides structure, atmosphere and seasonal change, reinforcing the architectural framework and the character of the setting.

The studio undertakes both integrated landscape commissions and standalone planting design, often working alongside architects and project teams to bring depth and coherence to completed schemes.

Further detail on our approach to planting design can be found here.

Project scope

Designed in close relation to architecture.

The studio is typically engaged on private residential projects, often in collaboration with architects and other consultants, where the landscape is expected to sit alongside the architecture as part of a considered whole.

Projects vary in scale and character, but each is approached with the same level of care, ensuring a clear and coherent relationship between house, garden and setting.
