LDA
LDA Design are an independent, 100% employee-owned consultancy of urban designers, landscape architects and planners with a common purpose to make great places and shape the world for the better.
For us, design is a social endeavour – it is about creating places where people belong. We follow the principles of ‘first life, then spaces, then buildings’, turning traditional masterplanning on its head to shape places that better meet people’s everyday needs, supporting active, healthy lifestyles; well-designed infrastructure in the right places; and enabling close contact with nature. We start by listening, then we design fairer spaces that present more choices and promise social interaction. By leading with the landscape, and by putting people and nature first, we create better connected, healthier and happier places to live, work in or visit.
We have eight studios across the UK and a 170-strong and growing team. We have received more than 100 awards for urban renewal and town centre improvements, and contemporary and historic parkland design.
