Our 70-strong team is comprised of a mix of landscape architects, urban designers, architects, graphic designers, model makers, filmmakers and thinkers, all of whom contribute to designing rich and diverse neighbourhoods.

For the past 18 years, Studio Egret West have delivered some of the UK’s most exciting, high-quality placemaking projects through the symbiosis of memorable architecture, strategic urban design and ecology-driven landscape.

The success of the practice and the places we create is based on the layering and symbiosis of these three disciplines. This ability to think across a range of scales has always led to involvement in complex regeneration projects that typically offer medium and high-density living in mixed-use places; places with compelling narratives and identities, and places that are rooted and grown out from their context. Places that cultivate sustainable communities, amplify nature, prioritise the public realm, and evolve over time.

As a practice, we have a clear approach to landscape architecture. We create compelling, characterful, and comfortable landscapes for people to use. SEWs landscape direction is often rooted in site-specific inspiration. These may be visible or invisible references discovered through site visits, and research and often manifest through the retention of existing features or abstract portrayal of former uses and stories. Our intent is to create authentic landscapes which connect audiences in creative ways with a specific environment. We also follow an ambition to draw the qualities of the surrounding countryside into our cities. In doing this we aim to improve and repair ecological connectivity through urban areas and make nature accessible to all.
