Landscape Architecture
Creating inspired landscapes
Landscape architecture is part of the infrastructure of great cities: as critical as a motorway or an office block. Walk through any city and the dynamic urban spaces are what we remember and long to return to—landscape architecture forms a vital component of that.
Our landscape architects make valuable contributions to the quality of life in our communities by careful analysis, planning, and design. They create inspired landscapes that reflect context and user needs, whether in a motorway, an urban pocket park, a transport facility enhancement, stormwater wetland, town centre, or a recreation or community centre.
And working alongside architects, urban designers, and city planners locally and globally, our teams resolve the technical challenges in the early stages, creating solutions that respond to social, environmental, and economic needs.
We explore the union of social life and urban spaces and examine what is existing and developing in modern urban life. By using natural designs, we can help you create memorable places that have clarity of function, identity, and meaning—places that are liveable, workable, and sustainable.
Building a sense of place
When it comes to managing climate threats, cities are increasingly treating “soft” infrastructure—cultural resources, sustainability measures, natural and green spaces, and social inclusion—as an essential complement to traditional hard infrastructure. This is where landscape architecture can truly make its mark. For example, the rise of more water-sensitive designs such as “sponge cities” are helping manage urban stormwater through natural soil and plant processes.

Landscape architecture is seeing and understanding all the layers in the environment, then enriching that place through thoughtful design.
