Built on a former Council-owned car park, The Canopy Precinct delivers a unique urban experience to Lane Cove, a suburb known for its village atmosphere and its rich and varied bushland landscape. Given its location just 10km from the Sydney CBD, like many Sydney suburbs, Lane Cove is experiencing population pressures as density increases. 

The Archerfield Wetlands District Park exemplifies Urbis’ dedication as a design practice to sustainability, community engagement, and the creation of vibrant, multi-functional green spaces. As part of the broader Oxley Creek Transformation project for the Brisbane Sustainability Agency (BSA), Urbis played a pivotal role in leading a large team of consultants to deliver the parkland across a five-year timeframe.

The walkway between Visättra and Flemingsberg commuter train station had been identified as an unsafe place, and Visättra needed a clearer entrance for pedestrians moving from the university campus and the commuter train station. A wide staircase with a rest area and plantings is being built on the slope that was previously the obvious escape route.

BOGL’s design for The People’s Park in Odder is rooted in a clear ambition: to unite city, nature, and people through a layered landscape that celebrates the town’s history and its future. Central to this vision is Odder Å, the stream that once powered local mills and shaped the settlement of the area. By reintroducing a meandering, nature-friendly course to the stream and making it the centerpiece of the park, BOGL reclaims Odder’s natural heritage as its defining public asset.

Parc Départemental du Sausset was one of the great parks and landscape visions of the 1980s that was concerned strictly with an identification of a new landscape for new suburban settlements. It marks a ‘before’ and ‘after’, which influenced subsequent projects and will leave a deep mark on the future decades of landscape culture.

This professionalism determines the development of architecture and the role of the architect. The Netherlands has a strong tradition in spatial planning, infrastructure, urban development, and architecture. Each and every square metre in the Netherlands is planned, designed, and drawn up.
