About Us

We are an award winning design studio run by senior landscape architects with over twenty years of local and international experience. The studio, formed in 2008 by Director, Rupert Carmichael, practices design rigour and simplicity, underpinned by strong social, environmental and economic values.

CARMICHAEL STUDIOS strive to provide design outcomes that enrich the user experience within our public realm.

We bring fresh ideas to clients visions and from concept, documentation through to construction, approach each project with curiosity, professionalism and a critical eye.

We believe in collaboration, mindful listening, strategic thinking and active engagement to create processes and outcomes that delight and endure.

We enjoy working with government, developers and private clients to meet individual needs while retaining our core design principles and our commitment to responsible, sustainable practices. By understanding each projects unique priorities, budgetary constraints and risks we are able to generate solutions that respond and engage appropriately, creating spaces and places that surprise and delight.
