About the studio
Zoe Halpin Landscape Architecture is a landscape architecture studio founded in Sydney, on Gadigal Country.
My practice values environmental and social sustainability in Landscape Architecture. I promote the use of re-purposed and eco-friendly materials, climate resilient plant palettes, and water-sensitive practices. My practice works towards establishing bio-diverse gardens that support native ecosystems and offer their protection and repair wherever possible. I strongly encourage this for sites where the landscape is in particular need for rejuvenation.
Central to my approach are clear communication channels, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the sharing and critique of ideas. This ensures my practice stays true to sustainable and innovative design principles.
Based in the Netherlands, working across NL and Australia
