Profile
We design places that delight.
Our award-winning team are landscape and public realm specialists who take pride in making a positive contribution to the environment. We place people at the heart of what we do with a focus on research-led design principles to create resilient social landscape. We work collaboratively across all sectors both internationally and in the UK.
The studio is led by Ed Freeman who has over 25 years’ professional experience as a landscape and urban designer, and is comprised of landscape architects, urban designers, garden designers, horticulturists and artists who worked together for many years before the formation of Realm.
Our focus is on innovative thinking, collaborative working, and design of the highest quality. Since the studio’s inception in 2013, we have successfully worked on a wide range of projects in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia. A portfolio of public realm, residential, hotels & resorts, retail and commercial projects has been established working in collaboration with forward thinking Clients, world class Architects, and leading designers.
We believe that placemaking is at its best when landscape and the built environment are created holistically, achieving a flowing narrative and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Our ultimate objective is to celebrate landscape in all its varied aspects so as to create memorable experiences which respond to and respect the environment in which they sit.
Landscape. People. Places.
