BSC MLA CMLI
The studio was founded by Nilufer Danis, an international award-winning Chartered Landscape Architect and Garden Designer with over two decades of experience in the industry.

Studio Expertise
Working under Nilufer’s guidance, our experienced studio team provides full landscape design and project management services for public realm, leisure, education, parks, residential, private gardens and show gardens.
With strong expertise in urban landscapes, planning, environmental management and sustainability, we are qualified to take on large, complex projects, as well as small scale gardens. We collaborate with some of the world’s leading architect practices, residential developers and interior designers, including Roger Stirk Harbour + Partners, Tadao Ando, Calfordseaden Architects, Inland Homes, Accouter Interior Design and The London Management Company.
A strong design ethos
A passion for excellence and artistry shines through in all Nilufer Danis designs. Nilufer’s qualifications in both landscape architecture and garden design equip her to blend masterplanning, technical construction and highly artistic planting design skills to create environments with equilibrium. The studio has a flair for designing beautiful gardens and landscapes that also deliver a positive environmental impact and improved biodiversity.
A contemporary & minimalistic signature style
Nilufer Danis landscapes and gardens are characterised by strong structural elements that give definition and poise. Clean-lined, modern, sleek layouts contrast with exciting planting in a sophisticated palette of colours and textures. Nilufer Danis projects are regularly featured in design magazines worldwide.
Awards
We are proud that our work has been recognised with many top awards including three RHS Gold Medals and two Best in Show among RHS Gold Medal winners at Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. In two Chelsea Flower Show appearances we were recognised both times with Best Trade Stand. International awards include Best Thematic and Innovative Project and Best International Project by Plant Magazine, The Innovative Garden Special Prize by EXPO 2016 Antalya, Best Participation Award by China and Shanghai Flower Associations 2021 and a Gold Medal and Best Garden Design Award at the Suzhou Flower Show 2026.
