Sentient Design produces projects that are creative, innovative and pragmatic. A strong philosophical framework, developed from both education and experience guides process and decision making from beginning to end.
Respect
We believe every site has a unique physical, environmental and cultural context that can be respected and enhanced by a sensitive and thoughtful response.
Collaboration
Clear and professional communication is a critical component of a successful working partnership. This applies equally to clients, collaborators, and with the public.
Integrity
We are committed to honest, well-founded and transparent communication and advice.
Sustainability
The notion of a sustainable landscape has many aspects and is not a tick-the-box process. It requires considered analysis of the project context, objectives and benefits.
Innovation
While respecting tradition and experience, we are open to the benefits that may arise from new ideas, materials and ways of doing things.
Engagement
We strive to design places that connect people with their physical environment and encourage stewardship of land.
