Creating a sense of place
Landscape architecture for Darwin’s homes, hospitality spaces, and public places.
ABOUT
Design shaped by real construction experience
Essence Landscape Architecture brings over 15 years of design and construction experience to Darwin. With a background spanning concept design through to construction detailing and estimating, I bring a rare mix of design sensibility and cost-awareness to every project — helping ideas stay both beautiful and buildable.
Trained in France and shaped by more than a decade working across Melbourne and Sydney's landscape industry, I now bring that experience home to the Top End — designing for Darwin's unique climate and lifestyle.

Design that already knows what it costs
Over a decade spent estimating and tendering landscape construction means I design with an eye on what things cost and how they get built — so ideas stay ambitious without becoming impractical.
That means fewer surprises at tender, realistic designs, and predictable outcomes for everyone involved.
Years of design & estimating experience.
