Studio
Our small design studio of landscape architects, designers and planting experts brings a unique combination of creativity, passion, versatility and practical experience to every landscape design project. We work collaboratively with our extensive network of artists, craftsmen and boutique nurseries to create beautifully articulated outdoor living spaces with understated elegance.
Suzanne Turley
Director and Garden Designer
An innovative and highly sought-after landscape designer, Suzanne established Suzanne Turley Landscapes in 1995 after a successful career in fashion where she developed a strong sensibility for colours, proportions and textures. Working on prestigious properties internationally and throughout New Zealand, Suzanne collaborates with top architects and interior designers, achieving seamless design integration of outdoor and indoor spaces. Suzanne’s natural ability and evolving style allows her to reinvent classics using a contemporary and fluid design language. Her inspiration comes from her love for classic elegance based on balance and proportion, combined with a passion for soft, textural landscaping. She applies vision, experience and the highest standards to achieve immaculate results for her clients.

A registered Landscape Architect with the Italian Association of Landscape Architecture, Ermanno manages the integrity and quality of design for every project.

From concept through to delivery, we offer an end-to-end landscape design and installation service for new builds and major renovations.
We work closely with you and your architects to develop a vision for your property from the start of the design process, right through planning and consent. Our involvement early in the project ensures a seamless integration between your building project and landscape design.
Our design services include presentation drawings and construction specifications for tender or build. We incorporate all aspects of hard and softscape design, including plants, lighting, water features, retaining walls, outdoor furniture, pools, pergolas and fences.
In Auckland, our team will source and install the planting, and project manage the installation of all other aspects of the design.
