We are an award-winning garden and landscape design studio whose designs are driven by a creative boldness and an acute sensitivity to setting. Our work ranges in complexity and scale from small gardens to expansive rural heritage sites. Each project thoughtfully balances the character of the land, the identity of the architecture and the lifestyles of the people who use the space.

Our approach is client and site-centerd and every project begins with listening, observing and exploring. We pick up visual cues from the site, such as its terrain and native planting, and use these to respond to and interact with. This carefully-honed attentiveness to the setting of a site helps us blur the distinction between architecture and landscape, heightening the contrast between the designed garden and the wild landscape. Our schemes therefore evoke a true sense of belonging, appearing as if to have emerged from the site organically.

Our design approach is communicated with clarity through sketches, images and diagrams which help us develop a narrative for the site. Our signature sketches up both the aesthetic and soul of the garden, offering a clear visual impression of the garden’s design and atmosphere.
