Our team

Studios in Devon, London & the Isle of Skye

We are an energetic and experienced team of 14 landscape architects and garden designers, led by founders Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg. Across our three studios in Devon, London, and the Isle of Skye, we work on residential, commercial, botanic, and public gardens at every scale.

At our agile size, we have the capacity to ensure projects move swiftly using relevant and specific skills for the best results, all the while ensuring hands-on contact with our Directors.

We are accustomed to working with and alongside wider design and delivery teams including architects, engineers, ecologists, project managers, head gardeners, main and specialist contractors.

We are passionate about landscapes. We spend our spare time exploring them – from Cornwall to the Highlands – and our professional time working in them. We have in depth understanding of developing considered, resonant gardens in these special settings.
