Borders
The delineation between open countryside and urban environment is always changing. Over time villages have become towns, towns become cities, and planning designations evolve from once commercial or industrial zones to affordable modern mixed use communities.
Where countryside gives way to settlement, architecture must negotiate scale, material and memory. Edges are where landscape and settlement meet, full of contrast, confrontation and juxtaposition.
Our work at these thresholds draws together landscape and development, crafting places that feel grounded, environmentally sensitive and capable of knitting together the natural beauty of a place with the demands of future growth.
