Landscape
Outdoor space that moves people through the site.
Gardens, courts, water and public space designed as part of the architecture, from a family garden to an 18-hectare leisure district.
Landscape is where a building meets its climate and its neighbours. We read the slope, the water, the sun and the existing trees first, then design the transitions: arrival, shade, courts, planting and paths. At district scale the landscape becomes the structure that holds many buildings together and lets visitors find their way.

How it works
Form is an answer. Before we draw, we understand your story and the logic of the space: function, relation, circulation, light and air.
-
01
Site reading
Before contractSurvey, slope, water, sun, wind and existing trees, mapped together with your plans for the site.
-
02
Concept
± 2 weeksOutdoor rooms, arrival and routes, with a planting and material mood.
-
03
Schematic
± 4 weeksPlans, levels and sections, the planting palette, water features and outdoor lighting in 3D.
-

Planting & handover
During constructionSite visits during planting and hardscape works, then handover with as-built records.
These timings reflect the average of the projects we have designed. The phases and their length for your project are set together in the proposal, according to its scale and complexity, and may shift with site conditions, permits and decisions along the way.
