The Studio

Abundant planting is central to our designs. We draw on natural landscapes, such as meadows, woodland, glades and wetlands, and the way plants grow together in them. Our schemes are layered and generous, tailored to the conditions of the site, from a shaded city courtyard to the expanses of a rural estate. No two gardens are the same. What carries through is the ethos behind the planting, and that is what makes a garden recognisably ours.

We work from two studios: one in London, and one on a hillside near Hay-on-Wye, where Harry lives on twelve acres at Long Barn Farm. We also keep a base in Bristol. The work runs from private gardens and country estates to roof terraces, botanic gardens and notable public and commercial landscapes, across the UK and internationally.

Working across that range gives us a deep understanding of both the city and the countryside. Wherever we design, we are making places for people, and how it feels to be in them drives every decision we make. That sensitivity is what gives our landscapes their sense of belonging.

In a fast-paced, increasingly technological world, gardens and designed landscapes offer a rare kind of relief: somewhere real, where you can ground yourself and connect with the people and the natural world around you. We believe designed landscapes matter more now, and in the years ahead, than they ever have.

Our work is to make places that speak to the soul.
