Anthony feels that environmental science is an increasingly important aspect of landscape design in today’s world. Undertaking the double degree in landscape architecture and environmental science has given him the opportunity to blend science and logical problem solving with artistic creativity. Design, he feels, is a challenge which should at all times incorporate as many functions as possible, while still being aesthetically pleasing.

Anthony’s design ethos is based on the use of soft materials wherever possible, placing major emphasis on environmental sustainability. This has led to a romantic bent to his design work, contrasting with recent industry trends to modern austerity. Anthony aims to draw inspiration from design history to create aesthetically impressive landscapes and loves the challenge of combining this with environmental sustainability. He doubts he will ever be varnishing donuts but is determined never to rule anything out.
