My approach prioritises simplicity and productivity, ensuring that every project evolves naturally while addressing the needs of its environment and community.
"In every design, I strive to dismantle the illusion of control, letting simplicity and productivity emerge as acts of defiance against the chaos of overdesign. Landscapes are not static—they are living, breathing systems that evolve. It’s our role to guide them"
Here’s how I guide a project through its journey, ensuring a thoughtful and collaborative process at every stage:
Context: Exploring the past and present dynamics of the site to understand its essence and potential.
Consultation: Engaging with stakeholders to incorporate diverse perspectives and ensure the design reflects shared values.
Concept Design: Developing early ideas that align with the site’s unique character and the project’s goals.
Design Development: Refining the vision into detailed plans that consider both functionality and aesthetic impact.
Installation: Overseeing the process to ensure the design takes shape with integrity and precision.
Growth and Maintenance: Embracing the evolution of the space, with an emphasis on sustainability and long-term care.
By balancing these stages with a focus on foundations—or sometimes, the absence of foundations—I create landscapes that are not just visually striking but genuinely connected to their purpose and place.
