We believe that design can be a powerful force for good, one that responds to context, reveals hidden narratives, and creates enduring places that captivate and sustain both people and nature. We aim to create places that foster joy and connection with nature.
Land + Form Studios is a Sydney-based landscape architecture and public realm design studio with a small studio mentality priding ourselves on being nimble, collaborative and deeply connected to places we work on. We overlap the traditional boundaries between Landscape Architecture and Urban Design, and work toward creating resilient, connected cities where nature and people thrive. Our approach balances:
LAND - natural systems, ecology and resilience, with
FORM - people, culture and connection.
As a studio, we seek to reveal hidden narratives and craft meaningful environments that sustain both people and nature. Our work has been recognised through national awards and landmark urban design competitions.
