Philosophy

Our fresh, considered and bespoke landscape design philosophy takes projects from plan to realisation.

A strong philosophical framework underpins our innovative, intuitive & integrated design solutions: 

Evoke the senses 
People need access to rich and complex physical, natural, sensory and social environments

The story 
A broad context underlies every project; we seek to understand the planning frameworks, the physical landscape, the movement of water and wind, the soils,  the historic background, the regulations, the microclimate, the social setting, the patterns of behaviour, and the physical connections that link any project to a broader community

Nature and the environment 
For their well being, people need access to diverse, sustainable natural settings. Designs need to be environmentally sustainable for the health of the planet on which we all depend

Access and inclusion 
Social inclusion and physical access for people of all ages and abilities are a priority in our designs

Play 
Play has a critical role of in child development and outside play in nature has special significance

Risk 
Our thoughtful approach to risk and safety enables children of all ages and abilities to develop skills in handling risk and challenge, as a strategy in injury prevention and child development

Recreation 
Diverse recreation and play opportunities in residential and natural environments
