Our Approach to Public Space Design

We take a structured and collaborative approach to public space urban design. Every project begins with a clear understanding of the community’s goals, challenges, and the unique environment of the site. We consult directly with decision-makers, including councils, landscape architects, and local stakeholders, to identify priorities and develop a vision for each urban space. Our process balances creativity with practicality, ensuring designs are not only visually striking but also durable, safe, and functional for all users.

Our Comprehensive Placemaking Design Process:

1

Initial Enquiry and Consultation

Projects begin with a simple website enquiry or phone call. Our Customer Services Team assesses the project’s scope, budget, and requirements to ensure the right approach is taken.

2

Prequalification and Project Planning

For smaller projects, our team provides fast, practical guidance to meet the client’s immediate needs. Larger or bespoke projects are assigned to a dedicated outdoor space specialist who works closely with the client to develop tailored concepts.

3

Design and Concept Development

Based on input from the community and stakeholders, our in-house design team creates multiple concepts, ensuring accessibility, sustainability, and social connectivity are embedded from the outset.

4

Review and Refinement

Concepts are presented to clients for feedback. We refine and adjust the design to align with project goals, budget, and long-term maintenance considerations.
