Grant associates

A well known name in the landscape architecture industry, specifically for Gardens by the bay amongst other high profile successful landscapes. For me it is quite surprising that they are not an enourmous practise but medium- large and have only 2 offices, one in Bath and one in Singapore. It is interesting as there would be a difference in culture, insight on how this works between the 2 studios would also be interesting. 

 Their website is very different to typical practise websites I have seen previously for example the following detailing's/ phrases:

Collaborative by Nature: We believe strongly in the power of collaboration. We don’t always have all the answers ourselves, 

Today our understanding of the world, and how we can best influence its future, is quite different from when we started Grant Associates in 1997.

These phrases portrays the practise as a humble practise who values teamwork and is extremely self-aware.

I have personally been to some of their landscapes, Paradise in Birmingham and Birstol harbour.

Both respond appropriately to their environments and are designed to act as features and main spaces that people want to sit in. I believe these are highly successful in the sense that they are 24 hour spaces. I have felt safe at night and the landscapes receive similar attention at night as they do during the day.
