I\u2019ve gone from a billionaire\u2019s mansion in Regent\u2019s Park, to car parks in Reading. From a Power Station in Spalding, to Police Stations in Yorkshire. From acting as Landscape Officer for local planning authorities, to acting as an Expert Witness for a housing developer (in an appeal which we won). From masterplanning a new town outside Abu Dhabi, to rediscovering Anglo-Saxon royal burials in East Anglia. From Roman gold mining in Romania, to school ballcourts in Tunbridge Wells. \u2013 And much more along the way!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1843\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1843\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1843\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Rosia-masterplan-preferred-image-1024x582.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape masterplan for the goldfields of Rosia Montana\" width=\"780\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Rosia-masterplan-preferred-image.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Rosia-masterplan-preferred-image-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Masterplan for the goldfields of Rosia Montana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2009 wasn\u2019t such a good year.

We\u2019ve now branched-out to have sister offices not only in Dubai (Alshamsi terra firma), but also in the Baltics (TF-LT), and a presence in London too (with TF-LAB).<\/p>\n<p>Personally, the last 5 years have been particularly eventful, being married in 2011 (with a lovely honeymoon in the Caribbean later that year), and having a son in 2013 (who now, at the age of three, is well aware that \u201cDaddy is a Landscape Architect\u201d).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1753\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1753\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2124-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"terra firma in Amsterdam\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2124.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_2124-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The terra firma team\u2019s 30th anniversary celebrations in Amsterdam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>terra firma celebrated its 30<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary in 2015\u00a0by taking\u00a0a trip over to Amsterdam, with a talk from City Landscape Architect Ruwan Aluvihare. At the beginning of 2016 we released our short film of terra firma\u2019s work in landscape architecture (found at <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WouKnvPEioI\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/WouKnvPEioI<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>893 projects have passed over our desks since that first project of mine in 2006. We\u2019ve now got 13 members of staff in our Petersfield office, and more than double that with our colleagues further afield. I\u2019ve more than doubled my grey hair quota, but also exponentially increased my experience of the fantastically varied workload of Landscape Architecture, and gained some wonderful friends along the way. Grey hairs aside, I cherish the prospect of the next 10 years and the inevitable surprises I\u2019ll have along the way.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
