LandLAB is an Auckland based design-led, studio based practice creating sustainable, innovative and creative outcomes across a range of landscape, urbanism and place making projects across in Tāmaki Makaurau-Auckland, across Aotearoa and beyond.
As our name suggests our philosophy integrates a site specific approach (‘Land’) with a creative and rigorous design process (‘LAB’). Our work reflects our interrogation of the inter-relationships between the ecologies and systems of ‘landscape’, ‘urbanism’ and ‘place’.
We operate at the intersection of ecology, landscape, architecture and urbanism. We apply our rigorous and creative approach to the design of objects, spaces, places and territories.
We believe in a design-led process, and guide projects with expertise, leadership and tenacity. We collaborate with our clients, communities, technical consultants and other creative disciplines. We encourage authenticity, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
We design for people and are equally as interested in how each project works, is assembled and looks. We believe that good design is good business… and good fun.
