Our Approach to Design Excellence

Our commitments to Design Excellence underpin our team’s approach to all of our work. These include Connection, Collaboration, Innovation, and Sustainability.

For each of these pillars, our team will step through the stages below to arrive at the best project outcome

01  

Listen

Understanding the client, scope, and required outcome is key to the delivery of a successful project. This starts with listening; to what is being asked.

Interrogate

In all our projects, CONTEXT and our project team collaborators believe that effective consultation and collaboration is critical to success, and that doing so as early as possible ensures a holistic and informed design process. As Project Lead, CONTEXT will advocate for early integration, connection and collaboration between designers, stakeholders, and the community.

03  

Create

CONTEXT will provide a proactive and responsive service, which fully understands that innovation involves pushing the boundaries of industry convention to create something memorable. 

Innovation must be informed by expertise. In our projects, CONTEXT regularly involves contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, material scientists, and the engineering team to carry out ‘reality testing’ of potential innovations.

Solve

At CONTEXT we understand that sustainability is best implemented from the outset of a project as part of an integrated, multi-disciplinary process involving the client, design team, and stakeholders.

Sustainable development is the great challenge for the profession of landscape architecture in the 21st Century. As demands on the Earth’s resources continue to grow we must adopt more sustainable practices in our work and our operations as we solve the problems of the Built Environment.

05  

Deliver

Consultation and collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries will inevitably become a measure of success for the project. With proven experience working together on projects, our team are well-placed to ensure coordinated decision making in rethinking the complex problems, systems, and processes inherent within all projects so that we Deliver as required.
