We are a 75 year old global multi-disciplinary design firm with studios in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and APAC (Asia & Pacific). Globally our landscape architecture group is 40+ designers with the London studio comprising of 25 landscape architects and urban designers.
Our London studio is looking to fill a Senior Landscape Architect role.
Our work is global and varies in scale and context. Everything we do is driven by our aspiration to use good design to balance the needs of people with those of the planet. We work in a very collaborative environment and are very intent on ensuring our work is people-centric, functional, connected and achieves key sustainable principles in its resolution.
We are a collective of landscape architects, architects and urban designers who put people at the heart of our work. We are a diverse and collaborative group that draws from a varied background of skills and places of work.

Our landscape architecture team previously used to trade under the name of Uncommon Land. Uncommon Land has always been a trading name of Benoy, and we have rebranded it to become Benoy Landscape Architecture. This is to simplify our group brand structure so all design teams are associated with Benoy.
