..Us
As landscape and garden designers
we have a passion for the outdoor environment that permeates all our work. The
outdoor environment offers the variety and beauty of constantly changing conditions
and seasonal evolution; producing an ever changing tapestry of colour, texture,
light, sound and smell.
Through the careful and skilful use of materials and plants we can emphasise
and use this constant change to create gardens and landscapes that inspire and
invigorate.
Our aim is to create harmony between buildings, people and their surroundings
and we pay particular attention to the links between interior and exterior space.
We try to maximise the experience of the outdoor environment however detached
from this a site may seem.
The existing qualities of a site are the starting point of any project. Every
site has its own character, a ‘sense of place‘, defined by its location,
topography, architecture, history, specific features and existing flora. We
believe in a sensitive and sympathetic approach and to build on the positive
aspects of a site; to create a design in context with its setting.
We are committed to creating better, sustainable environments for wildlife and
people and believe it is always better to work with nature than against it.
We seek to use only resources that are sustainable and ethical.
We appreciate and respond to the practical and budgetary requirements of our
clients, as well as to the aesthetic potential of the site, and believe that
regular communication and an open exchange of information is essential to achieving
the best results.
We welcome the chance to work with architects and other professions from the
initial stages of any project, to make the most of all opportunities and ensure
a cohesive design of buildings and their surroundings.
