By Earthwork Landscape Architects
Earthwork have undertaken design development through to contract administration for Ravenswood Stage 1a and b in North Canterbury.
Initial theme development was undertaken at the start of the project to develop a strong narrative and this theming informed the unique material and planting palette.
Stage 1a involved streetscape works and a large detention basin with Stage 1b including a historic reserve and neighbourhood reserve and playspace.
Earthwork Landscape Architects is a practice based in Christchurch, New Zealand with a strong commitment to its client’s needs and the landscape, a clear philosophy and a history of top quality project delivery. The practice grew out of a rural location where it expanded its expertise in site planning and public design to a broad range of professional engagement. These original strengths in logical, well planned design and a commitment to the natural environment have been retained in our work.
The company now employs seven people, works throughout the South Island of New Zealand and overseas, across commercial, public and private projects. The practice has identified its core skills and these form the backbone of the multidisciplinary work that is now typically carried out. These core skills are site planning, landscape identity, communication and project delivery.
