Crafted Landscapes

Our Services

Every project begins somewhere different.

Architectural Landscapes, Garden Design & Construction.

Established 2017

Every landscape begins with a conversation.

Whether seeking a fresh perspective, a thoughtfully considered design, or a complete transformation from concept to completion, our approach is guided by the individuality of each place and the people who inhabit it.

Every detail considered, from the first sketch to the final construction.

We believe the most meaningful outdoor spaces are those that feel entirely natural to their surroundings and the lives unfolding within them. Places to gather, retreat, explore and reconnect with nature, through every season.

A Conversation Comes First

A first phone call with us is always free.

Tell us about your project and we'll help you work out which service, if any, makes sense. Paid consultations are separate.

Our Approach

Every landscape begins with an understanding of its setting, the people who will use it and the possibilities it presents. Our approach brings together architectural thinking, nature-led design and practical craftsmanship, from the first conversation through to the final detail.

  • We believe architecture and landscape should exist in harmony. Every design considers the relationship between the home, the garden and its wider setting, creating thoughtful transitions between built form and the natural world.

  • We are drawn to materials in their simplest, most honest form. Stone, timber and natural finishes bring warmth, texture and individuality to our landscapes. We embrace their imperfections and the character they develop through time, weather and the changing seasons.

  • Our work is shaped by an understanding of both design and making. We combine architectural knowledge, creative thinking and traditional craftsmanship, exploring materials and techniques to create distinctive landscapes where every detail has been carefully considered.

  • At the heart of our work is a desire to reconnect people with nature. We create landscapes that invite exploration, encourage moments of stillness and enrich everyday life. Places that respond to the seasons, evolve naturally and become more meaningful with time.

Our Design Journey

You can start at any stage. Not every project needs every service.

  1. Every landscape begins with listening. Understanding the people, the place and the possibilities.

  2. Uncovering potential through imagination, curiosity and a sensitivity to the surrounding landscape.

  3. Shaping ideas into a considered vision, where architecture, landscape and nature become one.

  4. Refining materials, planting and architectural details to bring clarity and cohesion to the design.

  5. Bringing the vision to life through skilled craftsmanship and a thoughtful approach to construction.

  6. Creating a place to inhabit, experience and enjoy, evolving naturally through the seasons.

National & International Commissions

We welcome design commissions throughout the UK and internationally, where projects align with our studio's approach and design ethos.

For projects outside the South East, design fees, site visits, travel and associated expenses are assessed and quoted individually, based on the location, scale and requirements of each commission.

Fees and any additional costs will be agreed with the client as the project progresses, before the relevant work is undertaken.

Kind Words

“Jamie and Ian have sympathetically renovated an old brick garden wall and built a new timber fence... I was planning to grow stuff up against it, but they've done such a great job, and it looks fab that it seems like a shame to cover it!... Lovely guys, hard working, efficient and friendly. Thinking of the next project for them.”
