Townshend Landscape Architects

A CONTEMPORARY PRACTISE

Townshend focus on urban realm and have a style of contemporary/ modern landscape that compliments the surrounding architecture. Within this style there is a focus on public wellbeing.

Overall, their approach comes across as a clear response to the site's context, with a community feel but a contemporary urban outlook. I personally have visited one of their designs; Kingdom Street, Paddington Central. Within the space it felt comforting and warm, a stark contrast against the concrete towers in what is supposedly the central business district in Paddington. Additionally it was modern and I felt excited exploring the different levels and formations within the space. I would say they are the one landscape architecture practise who's designs in the urban environment integrate green spaces with a contemporary and futuristic feel.
