Meet our team
Our team brings together landscape architects, landscape planners and urban designers with experience across planning, design and delivery. This breadth of expertise allows us to provide the right level of support for each commission, whether undertaking a single specialist study or contributing throughout the life of a project.
Many of our projects draw on the experience of more than one member of the team, ensuring clients benefit from the collective knowledge, capacity and continuity of the practice, together with the expertise most relevant to each commission.
