It continues to  mystify to us why landscape  is considered outside of, or separate to architecture. This landscape  page is  provided with a goal to avoid the occasional enquiry...'why didn't we know you do landscape?'

Ironically most Arcoessence buildings start with the consideration of the landscape before the building. We are passionate about siting (refer to this website page), and working with the topography of each Project. Unlike most, the planting for us is a part of landscaping, not the whole story. The plants become more like the 'bricks and mortar' of the building. This is why landscape and architecture are so closely related, both are about the space created. Though there are many layers to a landscape design, many consider there are two key 'secrets' to a good garden, we usually begin with these with any new client. It is once again about integration, attempting to 'blur' the edges between outdoor and indoor space in our designs.
