Working in-step with the needs of our contemporary world, Scape Design’s role is both pioneering and questioning, caught between the economic reality of commercial projects and our desire to address the global impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss and population growth. As a progressive practice, we choose to meet these challenges head-on, but it is not always an easy path to follow. Human beings are the Earth’s custodial species, and so we believe in a paradigm shift in all areas of our work, as we advocate new approaches to establishing nature in the urban fabric and new kinds of tourism that allow us all to live in a conscious relationship with the planet. We are passionate advocates of reforestation and planting more trees as part of the solution, but our primary goal is to foster the remembering of what it means to coexist with nature, to ensure a healthy life for future generations. As landscape architects, we are committed to engaging with, and furthering the debate on, how best to reconnect humanity with nature so as to meet the defining challenges of our time. We work to integrate natural cycles and systems into environments across all scales, from urban squares to tourism masterplans. We use our experience to choreograph projects that work in harmony with nature and seek to deliver opportunities for local communities to diversify and create sustainable, circular economies. Our aim is to ensure environmental resilience and a better future for this planet as well as all species who call it home. From day one, our knowledge of human behaviour and humankind’s deep-rooted emotional response to nature, has been integral to everything this practice has created. At our core we are story tellers, leading people on exciting, playful and often whimsical journeys that celebrate all that is good in feeling alive. We promote harmony, well-being, connection and an increase in local biodiversity, especially through the planting of more trees.
