LANDSCAPE
MASTER PLANS

Working closely in multi-disciplinary collaborations or directly for clients, SCAPE Design offers a complete and highly skilled strategic master planning service across the full range of projects types that we service. Through this approach, we create imaginative and functional master plans that make communities more liveable, active, inclusive and enjoyable. We bring innovative thinking, incorporation of smart technologies, social responsibility and sustainable principles in the design of resilient landscapes.

DETAILED DESIGN &
CONSTRUCTION DESIGN

Having generated our site and client-specific concept design, or if following up the work of previous consultants, SCAPE Design utilises a combination of site and user analysis, design testing and standards review and rational and efficient design servicing, to arrive at design deliverables that are assessable, quantifiable and engaging to enable progression towards a built outcome. We utilise computer software that is compatible with industry standards for CAD and BIM and participate in web-based project management, communication and coordination systems.

VISUAL ASSESSMENT

SCAPE Design has specialist skills in the provision of landscape and visual assessment. These skills are often performed in our transport infrastructure projects as part of multi-disciplinary environmental management assessment reports, but have also been used for multi-residential and single lot development projects to ensure the impacts of our projects can be measured using our customised qualitative methods and demonstrated to clients, consultants, stakeholders and authorities.

CONCEPT DESIGN &
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS

Gaining an understanding of broader context and fine intricacies, unearthing inherent qualities, as well as forging an understanding of the needs and aspirations of the client and end user, forms the basis of SCAPE Design’s approach to designing places. From this approach we attain deep levels of understanding, which is then refined, redacted and simplified to find the essence of the design and to enable straightforward authority approvals processes.
