George Batterham, director at Batterham Smith Architects, looks at how you can develop an effective landscape design to suit your project

When should the landscaping design be developed?
Think about all your home’s spaces, inside and out, from the very beginning of your project. In design terms, we often talk about place-making buildings that form part of a wider landscape. So, the dwelling defines the site, separating the front from the back and the sides, and carving out zones for courtyards and entrances.
