We create lasting beauty through a rigorous design discipline.

Spaces We improve the fabric and hierarchy of spaces as you move through the landscape. We create imaginative relationships of one space to another: through scale, openness and enclosure, not mere functional fit.

Sightlines and Views We give frameworks, axes and sightlines meaning and ornament; we define and create views – in, out, across and to borrowed prospects beyond. A landscape without views is a design without life.

Structures We design built structure to be artful and durable, using fine natural and modern materials.

Contrast and Context To create flow, mood, balance, and appropriate complexity, we use contrasts: light and shade, rough and smooth, formal and informal; and we use the context of the landscape – its sounds and scents, its feel and history, its levels and landforms, and water, existing or introduced. We add dimensions.

Planting No landscape is complete without an imaginative design for planting, of trees, shrubs and flowers in rich mix and with careful juxtaposition to create seasonal variety and ecological diversity. Plantsmanship is fundamental to the creation of lasting beauty and pleasure.
