Landscape design is often an overlooked aspect of development projects, sometimes addressed solely to meet resource consent requirements. However, when you involve a landscape architect early on, it can significantly enhance the project’s overall outcome.
Our team of landscape architects collaborates with other professionals to ensure your development is:
- Functional: Designed with usability in mind, creating spaces that meet the needs of the users.
- Logical: Integrating seamlessly with the surrounding environment and architecture.
- Sustainable: Utilising environmentally friendly practices and promoting resource conservation.
- Beautiful: Aesthetically pleasing, creating a visually appealing development.
By prioritising the usability of outdoor spaces, we contribute to the project’s desirability, making it more attractive to residents, tenants, or buyers. Our qualified and experienced team will guide you through any challenges that may arise, ensuring a successful outcome for your commercial, residential, or public projects.
1. Landscape Architects add value to your home or development
Landscape architects add value by enhancing the overall space and improve the area as plants grow. With the intensification of housing in New Zealand (Auckland in particular), well-designed outdoor spaces enrich the lives of those living close by in townhouses and apartments.
But we all want to feel connected to nature and landscape architecture achieves this regardless of where you live.
2. Landscape Architects are trained to analyse and understand complex sites
Landscape architects aren’t just about aesthetics; they are master planners. They view your entire site as a connected system, considering how elements like sunlight, waterflow, ecology, and views. This approach ensures your design works with its surroundings, instead of against it.
They are also trained illustrators and use drawings/software to design and solve problems. This is an important tool when communicating with clients, stakeholders, and local councils.
3. Landscape Architects complete the process from start to finish
A good landscape architect offers an organised and streamlined approach to keep your project on track and reduce the risk of costly surprises. Because we’re beside you throughout the entire process, our team find solutions to problems as they occur.
4. Landscape Architects recommend the best plants for your site
The right plant selection is key to solving any site challenge – whether its a low maintenance native garden, or a colourful flowering garden space.
Perhaps your site requires a functional wetland space for managing excess water runoff? Our team can design that too! They understand how specific plants contribute to healthy ecosystems and functionality.
5. Landscape Architects deliver a space that is creative, functional, and on trend
Our team stays ahead of the curve with the latest trends and products, ensuring your landscape reflects modern design principles. Plant selection and material choices make a huge difference to the way we use and enjoy our landscapes, as well as playing an important role in sustainability and functionality. As designers, landscape architects capture what is special about a site, combining local materials and identities, and bringing these together with global trends to create a unique space.
