We believe that good landscape design emerges from the character and topography of a place, rather than being imposed on it.

We approach landscape design as a collaborative process. This calls for an ongoing relationship between client, site, designer and the other professionals involved in the development of a project. Gardens are not 'instant' creations. Like people, they are living entities that develop and unfold with time.

Our gardens and landscapes are characterised by an informed contemporary approach. This makes reference to the past for continuity, but avoids both extremes of cold minimalism and historical pastiche. Country gardens are frequently agricultural in inspiration, featuring ornamental orchards and potagers, while more urban locations reflect their surroundings with simple lines and the architectural massing of plants.

Each project calls for its own design strategy. This may be a subtle intervention, or a more bold and decisive vision. The landscape designer's job is to listen to the spirit of the place, and the needs and desires of its owner, and provide accordingly.
