Place Lab

PLACE Laboratory is a youthful and energetic practice, we believe that the public realm is the stage for ‘life’. When the public realm is designed well, the possibilities of life’s acts are infinite. We see our role, as landscape architects and urban designers, is to understand and work with the dynamics and the interplay between human experience and built form (buildings and open space). This sets the stage for life to perform. Crafted from local environments, local stories, and lives of local people we create pragmatic, place-based landscapes that are rich in experience and engage all the senses. We strive for ‘bigger’ picture places that deliver economically, socially, and environmentally for communities, cities, and the earth. It starts by asking questions; lots of them. Listening close to what is both spoken and unsaid to ensure the result delights all who experience it, whether it is daily or once in a lifetime. It’s an intellectually rigorous process – but it’s what leads to destinations that evoke that ever-elusive feeling of ‘this must be the place’. Our designs are playfully clever, interlinked with art and science, and most importantly, anything but ordinary For further details contact us at; ourplace@placelaboratory.com
