- Design; integrate the natural, site, regulatory, & client demands into a comprehensive brief. Creating a meaningful and practical range of landscape solutions leveraging on the broad skillset and communication of the team.
- Build; Realise the brief, maintaining an ongoing relationship between the design and build processes as the project comes to life.
