Urban Design
Creating vibrant, sustainable places
For people to live well in a community, great housing must be supported by robust infrastructure and community amenities that reflect and enhance the built and natural character of the area. We must also be increasingly mindful of how the way we live affects the natural environment. We help clients to strike the right balance and navigate complex challenges including land scarcity, sustainability, air quality, noise requirements, congestion and affordability.
Our strong environmental credentials, combined with our planning, architecture, landscape architecture and urban design expertise, enables us to deliver sustainable solutions and quality design for large and complex developments. Our focus is to integrate projects into their urban context through collaboration and creativity and we have deep expertise in the creation of new communities, urban redevelopment and attention to the public realm.
