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.
Comprehensive Placemaking Design Process:
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.
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.
