Landscape Architecture
Creating places of interest with a dynamic vision and sense of place
Why Us?
DRIVING CLIENT VISION
We believe that understanding client vision and development aspirations from project initiation is key to project success. Our preference is to drive the project from inception to completion to ensure placemaking principles are applied, coordinated and achieved.
KNOWLEDGE DEPTH
We have the ability, knowledge and skillset to distribute our design thinking to the wide range of sectors that we offer. We also support internal disciplines collectively by providing alternate visions, identifying opportunities and design excellence for their projects.
APPRECIATION
Our Landscape Architecture team has a clear focus on creating places that enrich communities, lifestyles, and help our clients create vibrant and sustainable environments. We believe that Landscape Architecture is essential in the design process, providing dynamic creativity and place making aspirations.
Service Offerings
Feasibility & Acquisition
With a meticulous approach to site analysis and assessment, our team evaluates the unique characteristics and constraints of each project site. Through detailed study of topography, soil quality, vegetation, and climate, we gain valuable insights that inform the design process.
Visual Impact Assessment
Our comprehensive services also include visual impact assessments, where we analyse sightlines, viewpoints, and contextual factors to mitigate any potential visual impacts of proposed developments on the surrounding environment. By understanding the site’s context and potential, we develop tailored solutions that optimise functionality, mitigate risks, and celebrate the site’s natural beauty.
Master Planning
We specialise in master planning services, guiding projects from conceptualisation to implementation with a focus on long-term vision and sustainability. Through thorough site analysis and stakeholder consultations, we develop comprehensive plans that integrate environmental, social, and economic considerations.
By identifying opportunities and challenges, we create resilient strategies that optimise land use, enhance connectivity, and promote community well-being. Our approach emphasises collaboration and innovation, ensuring that our master plans not only meet current needs and anticipate future trends and challenges.
Urban Design & Placemaking
We strive to create vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable spaces that enrich the urban experience. Through thoughtful analysis of urban patterns, cultural context, and community dynamics, we develop strategies that enhance connectivity, promote social interaction, and celebrate local identity. By integrating green infrastructure, public art, and active transportation, we create memorable destinations that foster a sense of belonging and pride.
Concept Design & Visualisation
We specialise in translating client aspirations and project goals into compelling conceptual designs that inspire and engage. Through a collaborative process of ideation and exploration, we develop innovative solutions that respond to the site’s context and user needs. Utilising hand sketches, digital renderings, and 3D modelling, we create immersive visualisations that bring concepts to life, allowing clients to envision the possibilities and make informed decisions.
Design Development and Documentation
Our team excels in transforming conceptual designs into detailed construction documents and specifications. We can develop quality documentation for Development Applications (DA) Construction Certificates (CC), and tendering. With a keen focus on precision and clarity, we develop comprehensive plans that guide the implementation process. From hardscape elements to planting palettes, we ensure that every detail is carefully documented to facilitate seamless execution and ensure design integrity.
Additionally, we specialise in preparing documents for licensing and other such approvals, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitating the smooth progress of projects through various stages.
