Principles
Landscape Systems as a Framework
Working with the landscape, by understanding the site throughout. Using parametric tools to study terrain, slopes and water-flow. The vernacular landscape form the main design inspiration. Integrating multi-functional landscape design as green-infrastructure such as storm-water infiltration beds.
Ecologically-Driven design
Sensitivity of the landscape to the surrounding ecosystems are essential to the success of the space. A strong focus on native planting and improving the biodiversity withing the site. Connecting to the wider network of ecological corridors and providing green connections within master plans.
Design for Walk-Ability
The focus is always around walk-able spaces and communities. With the aim to create spaces where walking and cycling is easier than driving. Such as colorful crossings or shared surfaces re-balance mobility use.
Community Integration
Crafting a social and cultural landscape. By providing vibrant and highly varied experiences available to each and every resident of the community. Initiatives in public spaces create a sense of belonging to the wider community.
