We turn human stories into extraordinary spaces, sparking new narratives and helping places evolve and thrive. We are Gillespies, a diverse, free-thinking team of landscape architects, landscape planners, masterplanners, and urban designers based in London, Oxford, Manchester, Leeds and Abu Dhabi. For over 60 years, we've designed with nature to create exceptional spaces where stories come to life and nature thrives. From intimate rooftop gardens to expansive city masterplans, we create unique settings that bring people together, offering unforgettable experiences and fostering a deep harmony between people and the environment. Our approach is context-driven and grounded in the principles of regenerative design. We draw inspiration from a site's natural assets, people, and culture to create authentic places with interconnected ecosystems that are both resilient and sustainable. The resulting places are personal. They’re the product of nature and people in balance and the setting for unique stories to unfold. Notable projects include Elephant Park, Television Centre in White City, Google HQ’s new rooftop garden and several large-scale international masterplans. All benefit from a global view: the team’s broad cultural perspective brings informed, unbiased creativity to even the most specific micro-ecology. Expertise: Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Masterplanning, Landscape Planning (LVIA, EIA, DCO, Expert Witness, Development Planning) and Wayfinding and Signage. Areas of Experience: Residential and mixed-use developments, garden community and growth strategies, high street regeneration, green regeneration, green spaces, parks and public realm design, sports facilities, hotel landscapes, campus design for education and healthcare centres, television studios, regional masterplans for tourism developments, rooftop gardens, winter gardens, energy and utility, airports, museum and civic landscapes.
