ASPECT Studios is an international design practice built by a global team of landscape architects, urban designers, architects, wayfinding specialists, strategists, and graphic designers.
We approach each project by examining the social, cultural, economic, historical and ecological context that underpins it.
Our people are dextrous, creative, technically adept, and serious about designing places that benefit people and the natural world. This focus has seen us create some of the most memorable public realm and natural spaces in Australia and abroad.
We are defined by an energised and creative approach tempered by over 25 years of experience in delivering and curating significant projects. Over that time, we have established studios in Adelaide, Brisbane, Dubai, Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, London, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Shanghai. With this integrated approach, we possess the skills and resources to define globally defining design projects.
OUR PURPOSE
We are designers, landscape architects and urbanists connected by a shared purpose – to create projects that enhance the lives of people and natural systems in enduring, challenging and delightful ways.
We are influential, city-shaping leaders who are globally recognised for what we design and the way we think.
Our design process reveals the essential qualities of a place, the landscape, its history, social rituals and cultural significance. We champion creative solutions that enrich the way people interact with the place. Through design, we resolve complex contemporary challenges and craft places of meaning and delight.
We challenge a business-as-usual approach and anticipate emerging cultures, allowing our diverse projects to stand out. We practice design to advocate for a symbiotic relationship between the human and natural environments. We believe in the deep connectedness of all living things.
We are for life–enhanced public life, the life of natural systems in the city.
We are for interaction – with our clients, collaborators and within our studios.
All our people across our studios are united in responding to the possibilities of place by interweaving conceptual ideas with digital technologies, systems and practices. We draw on our global team’s thinking to locally deliver site-responsive, generous places where people want to be.
