Landscape Architecture.
We design a world that’s built for good.
The original multidisciplinary house of design.
BDP is a leading, global, multidisciplinary design practice united by a shared purpose: to design a world that’s built for good. For more than 60 years, we’ve been solving problems, creating innovative spaces, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. From the start, we’ve been pioneers in the world of design, and our legacy is built on the meaningful, people-centred places we’ve brought to life.
Our work is rooted in creativity, quality, and collaboration. We believe that great design removes barriers and opens new possibilities, all while meeting the demands of a constantly evolving world. Whether we’re designing homes, workplaces, or public spaces, we always put people at the heart of our thinking, ensuring that the environments we create are not just functional, but also inclusive, beautiful, and socially and environmentally responsible.
We’re proud of the places we’ve shaped and the lives we’ve touched, and we are committed to continuing our mission of designing a better, more connected world –one that leaves every place better than we found it.
Sevenkey landscape designtrends.
Sustainable travel.
Whilst many places have found ways to break the stranglehold of the car there is much to do and there is a need to create safer, walkable streets and spaces that are well served by public transport.
Keeping cool.
Careful design, shading, green roofs, street trees, balconies and light surfaces can reduce temperatures as well as improving air quality and supporting rainfall drainage systems. All helping to lower energy usage, reduce operating costs and improve human comfort. mode_cool

Amenity and play.
Recreational spaces are vital for community well-being, offering safe, engaging areas for people of all ages to connect with nature. Thoughtfully designed to be inclusive and accessible, these spaces ensure everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy them, fostering a sense of belonging and unity.
Health and wellbeing.
Landscapes that prioritise wellbeing connect people with nature, offering spaces to relax, exercise, and recharge. Considerate design can be instrumental in enhancing both mental and physical health.
Sustainable landscapes.
We create spaces that are inspiring, healthy, welcoming and inclusive for all harmonising the needs of people with those of the environment. Whether urban or rural, the external environment helps to shape and define the places we live, work and spend our time in. Our landscape architects work across the UK and internationally to improve the everyday lives of people whilst protecting and enhancing the natural world around us.
Our work covers everything from city or district strategies through to the design of streets, spaces, parks, waterways and the setting to individual buildings. No matter the scale, we create spaces that are inspiring, healthy, welcoming and inclusive for all.
Our landscape architects are experienced across all stages of design, from the generation of imaginative solutions through to implementation on site. Collaborative by nature, we work closely with clients, stakeholders, and local people to ensure that our proposals are innovative, contextually responsive and tuned to the needs of the communities we serve.

Green, blue and wild.
Integrating green and blue infrastructure into landscape design is crucial for enhancing biodiversity, environmental resilience and public health. By carefully crafting the design of parks, wetlands, streets, spaces and the buildings that define them we are able to provide essential habitats for wildlife and foster a strong connection between people and nature. We design to address requirements including Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) ensuring the creation of ecologically rich environments that support both flora and fauna. We promote solutions that improve public health and well-being, promote physical activity, reduce stress, and enhance mental health. By incorporating features including trees, planting, green roofs, rain gardens and permeable light surfaces, we
are often able to help counter urban heat island effect and improve air quality, contributing to healthier living conditions.
Through our commitment to greener, wilder landscapes, we help to build resilience against climate change and extreme weather events. Our designs seek to incorporate effective stormwater management techniques, reducing flooding risks while protecting vital natural resources.
This holistic approach not only safeguards the environment but also helps to foster community stewardship, encouraging people to actively engage with, learn about, and care for their local ecosystem and the wider environment.

A revitalised unused Victorian railway viaduct in Manchester has been transformed to create a new community green space. It is a part of the National Trust’s Urban Places work.
This temporary green space is already a favourite with locals, people from across Greater Manchester and tourists visiting the city. It provides a much needed green space in a concrete jungle.
Castlefield Viaduct
“The art of landscape architecture is to bring city spaces to life, connecting people and nature and adding prosperity and activity. There is no better example of this in the UK than this vision for Castlefield Viaduct. We designed this project with people in mind but crucially, with people involved so it is a reflection of the diverse and vibrant communities of Manchester. We are so excited to see it become a reality.”
— Darrell Wilson, Landscape Architect, BDP.
Castlefield Viaduct
The viaduct includes a wonderful Strawberry Garden which takes inspiration from the 19th century lost recreation gardens of Cornbrook. Designs for the viaduct take advantage of the open-air views, with the absence of the viaduct’s over-head iron girders which only cover the first part of the structure, offering elevated vistas across the city from The Lookout.
This site takes advantage of a dilapidated space creating something entirely new for people to enjoy. A safe outdoor space where people can reconnect with nature. It creates new life into an a once
abandoned area. This revitalisation project made sure to reuse available materials to minimise wastage and abide with their environmentally friendly goals. The plans for Castlefield Viaduct are part of the National Trust’s Urban Places work to increase access to parks and green spaces in and around urban areas, so that more people are in easy reach of quiet places with wide open skies. This viaduct is accessible by foot, bicycle, and public transport which minimises the carbon impact of visitors traveling to the site.
Castlefield Viaduct
“These plans mark the start of our next era for the viaduct; a bigger, bolder and more beneficial green space. This won’t happen without big investment, and we hope these plans will now encourage more funders and supporters to come on board and work with us to achieve this for the city.”
— Nichola Jacques, Castlefield Viaduct Project Manager, the National Trust.

Our landscape architects, working with engineering and design consultancy, Arup, designed a new sustainable drainage park for the local community, using an interconnected series of swales, rain gardens and bio-attenuation features.
West Gorton Community Park
Unlike a typical park, it has been specifically designed to manage the flow of rainwater into a drainage system to help prevent flooding and nature-based solutions have been implemented to combat the effects of climate change.
Paths and hard surfaces have been replaced with permeable paving to allow rainwater to percolate through to the
ground. Infiltration ponds will soak up water and any remaining will flow into sunken rain gardens, which have been planted with a range of biodiverse vegetation to mimic the area’s natural environment. During heavy storms, water that cannot be absorbed by soil and vegetation will be captured through a series of ‘v’ shaped channels and used to water the trees and plants.
West Gorton Community Park
The new community park is the final piece in a £100m regeneration scheme of 500 new homes, new community facilities and school improvements in the West Gorton area. It has three different areas; a woodland area with tree-lined paths and play equipment; a biodiverse meadow with picnic area and community area for outdoor events. Residents and visitors are encouraged to interact with the nature around them and feel a strong sense of community.
This park is also the first UK demonstrator project for the ‘GrowGreen’ initiative, which is funded by the European Union’s 2020 Horizon programme. The University of Manchester are monitoring storm water flows over the first five years to examine how effective the park is in reducing flooding.

Client: Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA)
Following the devastating 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, the Avon River Precinct regeneration project was initiated to restore the health of the river and revitalise the central city.
We were appointed to design a regeneration strategy that would use the river’s natural path to define a new urban precinct, integrating the Avon River as a central feature of Christchurch’s identity while supporting the city’s recovery.
Avon River Precinct
The project introduces significant ecological restoration alongside modern urban design. Features such as a pedestrian promenade, separate cycleways, and boardwalks allow easy access to the river, encouraging recreation and engagement with nature. Advanced LED lighting enhances safety and highlights the natural beauty of the precinct, while the terraced design integrates the river into the urban landscape, providing areas for seating and relaxation. The overall vision is to create a cohesive, sustainable precinct.
“A regenerated Avon River will draw both locals and visitors back to the central city and it will become a place for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment for people of all ages.”
— Glen Hughes, Opus Southern Regional Manager and Project Leader.
Avon River Precinct
The design prioritises accessibility, offering pathways for pedestrians and cyclists along the full length of the precinct. Boardwalks and seating areas ensure that the space is welcoming and inclusive for all, regardless of age or ability, promoting social interaction and community engagement.
The first phase, Watermark, opened in 2013, marking the beginning of Christchurch’s transformation into a greener, more peoplefocused city. The regeneration of the Avon River boosts biodiversity, attracts wildlife, provides space for both local people and has created a destination for relaxation and enjoyment.
“The design celebrates the natural, spiritual and ecological significance of the Avon River while improving accessibility and enhancing the river’s rich cultural, heritage and natural values.”
— Glen Hughes, Opus Southern Regional Manager and Project Leader.

IIT Mandi
BDP was selected through an international competition to design the new IIT Mandi campus in Himachal Pradesh-a visionary project created to become a beacon of engineering excellence, deeply respectful and responsive to its Himalayan surroundings.
Located in Kamand along the Uhl River, this 538-acre site presented a compelling design challenge: only about 200 acres were developable, while the remainder comprised steep, forested terrain. Our masterplan unfolds as a self-contained township, sensitively nestled into the existing topography and fluidly integrated with the landscape—minimising earthworks, preserving forest cover, and drawing inspiration from hill settlement patterns in both form and materiality. Rather than imposing upon the terrain, the architecture emerges from it. Buildings are thoughtfully placed on flatter plateaus to reduce disturbance and make use of local materials and vernacular roof styles—a design approach that weaves the campus into the Himalayan valley as naturally as the village settlements nearby.
IIT Mandi
The design creates a self-contained ecological township with academic buildings, residences, and community amenities interwoven into the landscape. Shared learning houses, laboratories, and a central “market square” foster collaboration and belonging, while sustainability strategies—ranging from optimized orientation and shading to passive energy measures—ensure resilience in this demanding climate. Rigorous digital analyses guided building orientation, daylighting, glazing, and shading strategies, ensuring visual comfort while limiting energy usage.
The result is a campus that is both environmentally sensitive and socially vibrant, balancing Himalayan serenity with the ambition of a world-class centre of learning.
University of London Bloomsbury Campus Masterplan
We were appointed to develop a masterplan setting out a 10-20 year strategy for the University of London’s Bloomsbury campus.
The long-term vision seeks to ensure that the future needs of the University are met and that it can continue to support world-class scholarship and research through improvements to the overall quality of the built environment and the provision of attractive public spaces where people can meet, talk and share ideas.
The plan protects and celebrates the history and heritage of the area and aims to contribute to the vibrant academic and residential neighbourhood of Bloomsbury.

Namtech Campus
BDP’s proposal for the NAMTECH Campus was driven by a philosophy of designing with restraint - creating a sustainable, resourceconscious learning environment that achieves maximum impact with minimal footprint.
Conceived for a prestigious design competition, the vision sought to harmonize traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, shaping a campus that fosters innovation, skill development, and environmental responsibility. The design approach was rooted in local mass materiality, combining both emerging and vanishing skills to craft spaces that are functional, cost-effective, and imbued with cultural meaning. Inspired by the five natural elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—the campus strategy emphasized judicious use of resources, ensuring environmental sensitivity while enhancing wellness and community life.
Through a careful balance of vernacular low-tech methods and advanced high-tech interventions, the campus was envisioned as a self-sustaining microcosm. Every decision was anchored in a clear assessment of need over excess, resulting in a campus that is at once future-ready, environmentally responsible, and deeply connected to its context.

Three open fingers radiate out from the atrium concourse, the distinctive entrance space, that forms the hospital’s public hub.
These fingers of clinical space alternate with gardens, intertwining building and landscape.
The Hospital has achieved a BREEAM
Excellent rating with the long elevations of the fingers orientated broadly north-south, which is ideal for passive energy design, ensuring good daylight, ventilation and views to all patient areas, particularly the wards located on the upper two storeys. This passive design approach together with the green roofs and active engineering systems underpin our sustainability strategy, ensuring that we contain the hospital’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Parkway Newbury
The historic market town of Newbury in Berkshire has been transformed with a new vibrant retail-led mixeduse town centre scheme designed by BDP. The town and its residents benefit from a new streetscape of retail stores
Parkway provides nearly 28,000 sqm of retail space at street level and includes two anchor stores along with over 50 shops and public realm space surrounded by al fresco cafes adjacent to the River Kennet. The scheme includes underground car parking for over 750 cars under two-thirds of the footprint and separate surface level servicing areas for goods deliveries.
Two-level retail units front the new Middle Street within the managed centre with linked access to the existing high street shops. Above the retail podium, a landscaped piazza is surrounded by over 180 residential units with a seven storey landmark residential tower fronting onto the adjacent Victoria Park.
Francis Holland School
The redeveloped Francis Holland School provides additional academic space within a constrained site close to Sloane Square.
The design unlocks a dark corner of the school’s unique conservation area setting by eking out a partly subterranean space to house a pavilion and attractive rooftop garden, carefully designed to support independent study, group work and play whilst nestling sensitively within its domestic scale setting.

Nirlon Knowledge Park
BDP led the masterplanning, landscape architecture, and architectural schematic / guideline design for Nirlon Knowledge Park, transforming a former synthetic-fibre factory site in Goregaon into a highdensity, campus-like IT precinct. Our comprehensive vision arranged three building zones around a serene, car-free central park - creating a tranquil urban oasis within Mumbai’s bustling western suburbs.
This landscaped oasis features a 250 m-long water element and generous planting, setting the stage for an urban sanctuary designed for well-being and interaction. To manage the site’s natural water flows, the masterplan incorporated an underground drainage network and water feature to mitigate monsoon flooding—delivering both ecological resilience and serene ambiance. The project achieved LEED Gold certification for Phases I–IV and Platinum for Phase V, and also received international acclaim, including the Asia Pacific 2012 Award for Commercial Renovation/Redevelopment.

Dhun Life - Swiss Tent
The landscape intervention at Dhun was envisioned as a sensitive design layer that enriches the experience of an existing cluster of living quarters. The intent was to carefully insert curated spaces into the larger setting in a nuanced manner, enhancing the everyday spatial experience for residents and visitors.
Dhun, conceptualised as a 500-acre neighbourhood near Jaipur, brings together working, learning, and recreational spaces. Within this setting, the existing trees form the true genius loci, guiding the orientation and alignment of new interventions so the ensemble reads as a cohesive landscape woven around both the living quarters and the natural canopy. The client’s collection of historic Rajasthani façades was integrated into landscape elements, adding texture and cultural resonance to the design. Planting design pays tribute to the desert ecology of Rajasthan, inspired by the Roee landscape, and is expressed through a restrained palette of native grasses, shrubs, and herbs - ensuring resilience, authenticity, and identity.

Animal Shelter
The 17-acre project, comprising an Animal Shelter, Daycare and Boarding facilities, and a Preventive Care unit, is a sanctuary dedicated to the well-being of animals, where treatment and education converge to create lasting impact.
The design integrates spaces for medical treatment, preventive healthcare, and rehabilitation with boarding, adoption, and daycare services—ensuring a holistic continuum of animal care. Educational workshops, visitor-friendly areas, and interactive exhibits are planned to foster awareness and empathy.
At the masterplanning level, the layout formalises the functional relationships, carefully orchestrating their interaction at both site-wide and occupant scales. Circulation is designed to minimise stress for animals, while green buffers, shaded enclosures, and open play yards enhance comfort and enrichment. Together, these strategies create a safe, sustainable, and inspiring environment—one that not only improves the lives of animals in need but also strengthens the community’s role in protecting and celebrating them.

“Ghadan 21 transforms Airport Road into a dynamic, connected, and climate resilient corridor – revitalising its legacy with purpose and innovation, with placemaking at its core.”
— Akshay Khera, Principal, BDP.
Ghadan 21
The design focus prioritises enhancing accessibility, activating parks, addressing climate considerations, promoting placemaking, improving network connectivity, and establishing a distinct brand identity. This is accomplished through thoughtfully designed elements, including paving, feature walls, dedicated cycling tracks, art installations, water features for temperature regulation, and shading devices for protection from sun and wind.
In collaboration with local consultants, BDP has implemented innovative solutions such as microclimate pockets and custom shading structures based on data driven efficacy rates. Furthermore, the integration of a continuous cycling route along the road has significantly enhanced Abu Dhabi’s cycling infrastructure, fostering connections between mobility, health, leisure, and sport, thereby reinforcing its reputation as a notable ‘Bike City’.
SOS Road
BDP India is leading the urban design and public realm enhancement for SOS Road, a 7 km-long approach road to the upcoming Guwahati International Airport Terminal in Assam.
BDP’s scope includes a comprehensive masterplan and landscape strategy, covering streetscaping, media gantries, signage, lighting, and bus stops, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically enriched experience for both passengers and residents. The project has six uniquely designed roundabouts, each celebrating a distinct aspect of Assam and North-East India. The landscaping strategy focuses on restoring the green cover, as the local government had previously widened the road from 2 lanes to 6 lanes, resulting in the loss of large rain trees. BDP’s approach integrates tall, shady trees to create a green buffer and mitigate urban heat, while lowheight flowering trees add vibrancy to the streetscape, all while ensuring clear visibility for commercial media screens.

Sector 17 Chandigarh Revitalisation
BDP was commissioned to develop a masterplan for the holistic rejuvenation of Sector 17—Chandigarh’s iconic civic and commercial heart spanning 250 acres, centred around three grand plazas flanked by retail and institutional buildings. The vision was to honour Le Corbusier’s original spatial logic and modernist foundations-preserving the scale, open plazas, and green axes while adapting the precinct to better serve current and future public use and vitality.
Informed by the city’s heritage significance under the Master Plan 2031, BDP’s framework enabled a balanced transformation of Sector 17 that emphasised public programming, accessibility, and spatial clarity. The revitalisation plan—developed in collaboration with The Architectural Studio and approved by the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee—included proposals for updated paving, lighting, an open-air theatre near Bank Square, bubble fountains, skating areas, sculptural installations, a skate park, projector-mapped city map installations, façade restoration, improved circulation, and shaded street furniture. These enhancements have already begun to bear fruit: as of mid 2023, key elements like the new fountain, uniform lighting, a 30×30 m city map engraving at Neelam Theatre, the urban park adjacent to the football stadium, and a pedestrian underpass to Rose Garden have been completed, significantly increasing footfall, activity, and public engagement.

Nevta Valley
Nevta Valley, part of a 3,000acre development for Mahindra World City, Jaipur, Rajasthan, spans 35 acres of ecologically degraded streambed and sparse vegetation.
The design draws inspiration from regional ecology and cultural heritage, weaving in native vegetation, indigenous grasses, stepped ghats, shaded pavilions, permeable pathways, and interactive playscapes to create welcoming communal spaces. Seasonal rainwater is carefully harvested and slowed to recharge groundwater and sustain local ecosystems. Natural contours are preserved to minimise ecological disruption, while sustainable interventions such as permeable streambeds and half-moon structures foster long-term vegetation growth and improved soil health. The result is a landscape that restores ecological value while enriching the social fabric of the community.
