After graduating with a degree in landscape architecture from Lincoln University in 1997, Stuart spent a number of years working in Wellington on a range of residential and commercial landscape projects before travelling extensively and moving to the UK in 2004. Spending five years working in London for a large architectural and masterplanning firms, Stuart gained invaluable experience on a number of large-scale masterplanning projects across Europe and the Middle East, as well as commercial landscape schemes within the UK.

With a keen understanding of the complexities of large-scale urban planning Stuart returned to New Zealand with a desire to apply what he learnt overseas within the New Zealand context.

Stuart also has a strong interest in the natural environment and exploring ways in which environmental and ecological systems can inform the design process, and provide for sustainable solutions. Inspired by simplicity of design, our natural environment and attention to detail Stuart seeks to  find creative and artistic solutions at every stage of the process.
