Terra Firma Public Realm and Urban Design

The public realm and urban design has finally found its way high up on the agenda in government and public thinking in recent years with the realisation that our cities need to and can become far more liveable and sustainable.


Landscape Architecture is one of the central professions involved with these issues and Terra
Firma successive principals came to the firm with a strong grounding in local authority and public
domain work involving successful streetscape and open space provision within often highly complex
urban environments.


A large part of the Terra Firma portfolio is involved with urban intervention and regeneration work and it can produce some of the most immediately satisfying results.

The centre of the university campus is also an important city open space contributing to the public realm. As part of the masterplan for the university, Lion Square has been upgraded to Terra Firma’s designs alongside the first new building project, a home for the Department of Cosmology designed by Van Heyningen Haward Architects.
