We design beautiful, resilient landscapes that connect people to place, nature, and one another.

Harris Bugg Studio is an award-winning landscape and garden design practice based in London, Devon & Scotland. Working across the UK and Europe, we are known for creating beautiful, environmentally intelligent landscapes and gardens that are rooted in place, rich in meaning, and resilient in the face of a changing climate.

Founded by Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg in 2017, the studio has earned an international reputation for combining design elegance with ecological depth, crafting spaces that are as emotionally resonant as they are environmentally responsive.

From regenerative rooftop forests to wildlife-friendly city gardens, our work spans scales and typologies, united by a belief in the
transformative power of landscape.

Latest Project: Dorset meadow garden

A long-term project transforming the expansive grounds of a Grade II listed property, including ornamental garden spaces, kitchen garden and tranquil pool garden – all carefully feathered into the fields and the landscape beyond.

In this first phase, we have planted a significant topiary hedge for privacy and structure, as well as a crab apple orchard, and a summer meadow. Paths are mown through and it’s being used as a lovely spot for picnics, playfulness and drinks.
