PHILOSOPHY

Byron Douglas Studio is a Landscape Architecture practice based in Cape Town, South Africa, which specializes in innovative design solutions for exquisite, lasting landscapes, both urban and rural.

The objective is to create unique landscapes, considering individual site and client needs. Each site instinctively guides the design solution through its location, micro-climate, soil conditions, slope, vegetation and architecture. Collaboration with the client, architect or developer, is encouraged, empowering the design to fulfill a vision in terms of the finished landscape.

Byron Douglas Studio embraces a contemporary, ecological and sustainable design-style. Hard and soft landscaping elements are integrated with art, sculpture and water. Simple and rational hard landscaping compliments the architecture and interior design, using locally sourced materials wherever possible. Soft landscaping encourages bold swathes of colour, form, foliage, texture and scent, using endemic, indigenous and coastal plant species.

The ultimate goal is the realization of memorable, interactive landscapes, which are relaxing and beautiful, all the while promoting healthy environments for people and wildlife.
