Designing a functional urban space requires a thorough understanding of the site's context. It involves identifying the physical relationship of a site to its surrounds, including its historical and cultural significance, surrounding topography, vistas, social factors, built form and user needs.
At Cardno S.P.L.A.T., we apply our understanding of these elements – and our extensive experience across commercial, residential, civic and mixed-use developments – to create urban design solutions that are innovative in arrangement, appearance and functionality.
We understand that urban development today brings with it a greater complexity of challenges. We collaborate closely with our clients and other specialists to develop a vision for a site, and then provide an overall design to ensure the full potential of the site is achieved.
In this way, we move towards our higher aim of creating a sense of place. This is vital in creating a socially, culturally, economically sustainable and enriching environment.
We will:
- Offer strategic design advice
- Manage design teams to gain all necessary approvals
- Create masterplans for new communities and complex developments
- Develop environmentally sustainable initiatives, and advise on appropriate environmental controls and education
- Provide advice on specialist areas, such as sustainability and social context
- Produce urban framework plans and designs of urban spaces.
