We’re delighted to welcome civil engineer Gareth Dugine to the Land Studio team.

With space at a premium in the UK, it’s time to look up and rethink how we design our roof tops. Land Studio’s Director of Civil Engineering Lisa Sawyer explores why we need to speed up and catch up with other European cities who have been making them part of the urban landscape for decades.

It was revealed earlier today that the Government is delaying putting the new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) laws into force this November.

A Q&A with our Director of Ecology Val Gateley and our new service offering.

Ask us about a grant scheme which is available to support the development of small-scale, retro-fit, sustainable drainage solutions in Wales.

Lisa has just done a podcast with Material Source about the built environment.

Thank you to two clients who have given us some lovely feedback.

Land Studio’s Director of Civil Engineering and Sustainable Drainage Systems Lisa Sawyer joined the team a year ago. Here she looks back over her first year and chats about the months ahead.

We can retrofit sustainable drainage system (SuDS) to help reduce flooding, remove discharge of surface water to the public sewer systems and reduce pollution to the environment.

A really good podcast from Planet Possible.

As a studio, we have been discussing whether the hard engineering of the past has run its course.

We have been in the news this week after welcoming DEFRA’s announcement of a SuDS requirement for future development.

 All new developments in England will be required to make sustainable drainage systems a mandatory requirement by 2024, a new Government review has announced today - and which we, at Land Studio, welcome.

The Land Studio team would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Why we, as a team of landscape architects and civil engineers, believe that nature led design is so important.
