DESIGNERS

Liz Lake Associates was founded in 1985 and has steadily grown to 3 offices in Stansted, Bristol and Nottingham. We are landscape architects, urban designers and landscape planners and are proud to still work for companies that came to us in the 1980s. With the growing interest in our environment, the need for high-quality and well-planned outdoor space has never been greater. From public parks to private gardens, and from urban extensions to town squares, elegant, inspiring and safe places provide a positive and lasting benefit to our quality of life and well-being. Our approach to projects is holistic, no matter how large or small. From the outset, we start with a fresh vision, take a broad view to assess the context, find local inspiration, devise a strategic and sustainable approach, and propose creative solutions.
