The business of our company is landscape architecture and urban design.
Our objective is to balance landscape philosophies and values with modern design and planning, so as to enhance each project and add value to our clients’ business.
We take our cue from nature itself. Many of our projects are designed within a regional context which is reflected in the special treatment and selection of materials evident in the chosen design solution. The use of indigenous materials within modern design provides a vivid and permanent reminder of our own landscape and creates a sense of belonging for people and buildings.
Our company is frequently invited to become part of multi-disciplinary teams endeavouring to achieve a shared design goal through collaboration. This blending of landscape knowledge and expertise in allied disciplines invariably leads to the adoption of well grounded design principles, ultimately reflected in an harmonious and successful end product.
Tekapo, Mackenzie District
The inspiration for the landscape design of this 100+ room hotel in Tekapo was taken directly from the local environment. The design incorporates a central green space with features reminiscent of the local glacial moraine landscape including mounding, boulders, dry riverstone beds and eco-sourced native planting. Street planting softens external views of the built form. The project is due for completion in 2019.
