Our services for all projects start with the site context. Master planning for a project including making best use of the site available for the building forms, and how they relate to and form spaces on site. Services can include design concepts for landscape form as informed by the site constraints including topography, building location, drainage, solar access, and prevailing weather patterns. We collaborate with landscape architects and trades on projects as required to achieve the desired result for clients.
