LANDSCAPE APPROACH

Inspiring landscape design

We use our expertise and our understanding of land and nature to generate a holistic set of proposals that deliver value for clients as well as unique experiences for the end user.

Whether it is an urban development or a rural attraction, Land Studio delivers value through our understanding of nature and the landscape. We define value as a wide-ranging approach to design that lowers costs, gains commercial value, delivers end user experiences, enhances biodiversity and understands future estate management.

Landscape Design concept

Defining the quality of the experience for the end user is the test of a site’s success, whether it is a new place to live, a destination for a family day out or a productive working environment. Land Studio defines experiences by realising the potential of land, creating places where people, nature and the landscape interact.

There are three approaches to the project work we undertake which come under the following headings; land, development and space.

land

“Unlocking the value of land through a masterplanning approach that connects people with nature and enhances the unique qualities of the place.”

development

“an approach that reduces infrastructure costs and realizes value for clients through the understanding and sensitive treatment of the landscape, drainage design and context.”

space

“A holistic appreciation of space, understanding how the end user will interact with nature, their relationship with the architecture and the future management of the estate

It is this overall approach that ultimately contributes to a higher quality legacy for our cities and our natural environment.”

Land Studio offers the full range of Landscape Architecture and Masterplanning services from concept design through to contract administration and completion.

3D design is fully integrated into our design process with practical experience in BIM level 2 production information.
