Landscape architecture

Kaihoahoa Tūtohu Whenua

Shaping natural, built or social environments for current and future generations to live, work, play and enjoy. Taking ecology, cultural history, community needs and environmental sustainability into consideration in our designs.

Inspired by the environment and people of Aotearoa New Zealand, our landscape architects create enduring places that are enhanced with occupation and use. We are mindful of the power of the natural world to inspire and nurture us, and of its fragility and our responsibility to care for people and place. Through a collaborative multi-disciplinary design approach, we shape natural, built, cultural or social environments for current and future generations to live, work, play and enjoy.

Our landscape architects address challenges and find opportunities working in the natural and built environment. We help clients and communities balance the practical requirements of economy, business, and movement while supporting shared aspirations for well-being, cultural expression, and ecological enhancement. 

Through a skilful, holistic, and innovative approach, we create and implement high-quality designs that bring communities together and add economic value. At the core is giving expression to Te Ao Māori and meeting our shared responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Resource Management Act (RMA).

Our diverse award-winning work in the public realm includes city and town centres, plazas, streetscapes and cycleways, residential developments, high-density living, playgrounds,  botanic gardens and memorials, business parks, campuses and educational facilities, golf courses, resorts, low-impact design, landscape rehabilitation and restoration.
