What we do.
Turf Design Studio is an experienced and dynamic design practice specialising in landscape architecture, urban design, placemaking, urban horticulture and ecological design. Our practice focuses on creating meaningful places that improve our environment and make a difference to the quality of community life.
We understand the complexities of large–scale projects and know what it takes to integrate often competing objectives into a coherent, meaningful and achievable vision. We take pride in planning and designing quality, well considered and appropriate places; whether an urban park, major infrastructure, educational facility, or the intimacy of a heritage garden.
Turf undertakes each project in close cooperation with our clients. We believe that great design grows from clear communication and collaboration at the earliest stages of a project. As such, our team aims to work cooperatively to identify, develop and then implement our clients’ objectives.
Scope of our practice
-
The heart of the practice is in Landscape Architecture, and the relationship of the natural and built systems, and the interconnectedness of all elements of the environment, from plants and habitat to human occupation.
-
Through our understanding of human, urban and landscape systems provide a platform to provide an integrated approach to large and complex sites, weaving together many threads.
-
A core component of our offer is in the understanding and expertise in larger urban systems, relationships to the built world, transport and public domain, where strategy sets the foundations for the best possible design outcomes.
-
Creating comfortable, authentic public and civic spaces that are designed for generations, not just for the present.
-
Maintaining, improving, restoring and increasing natural living systems drives our thinking.
-
Adding a layer of interest, understanding and heritage integration brings spaces to life, tells new and old stories, adding to the richness of the experience of space.
