Urban Design & Landscape Architecture

Urban design consultancy is related to, but different from, architecture. Architecture is essentially about designing buildings. Urban design is about establishing the right relationships between buildings, and creating the public realm that surrounds and links them. This may also involve Landscape Architecture.

How we can help you:

Our Urban Design consultants provide a creative and innovative service to our clients, designing proposals at all scales, delivering high quality, realistic schemes which are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.

Our experienced landscape architects work with urban designers and planners at all stages of development proposals, for private and public sector clients. They provide a wide range of services from site feasibility studies and landscape and visual assessments, to landscape strategies and detailed public realm and planting designs.

We have designers in several of our offices; drawn from a variety of creative backgrounds. They have the experience and skills to do everything from designing a small, high quality public space to preparing a design framework for a whole town or neighbourhood. We also have a number of urban design consultants within our urban design consultancy with heritage skills and qualifications.

A well as urban design and masterplanning, our combined experience includes planning, heritage, architecture and landscape architecture, with a strong international as well as UK track record.
