HLM Architects has strengthened its award-winning Landscape Architecture team with several appointments of landscape architects.
Alethea Ottewell, Head of Landscape Architecture HLM Architects, said: “Our Landscape Architecture team continues to go from strength to strength and these new appointments will further enhance our ability to deliver best in class landscape design for our clients. It’s been a busy and successful year for our team as we continue to provide a good quality service to our clients and design thoughtful projects which meet and exceed their requirements. Combined with the Masterplanning team, we are seeing new opportunities for landscape emerging which is exciting and positive for the company to showcase our skills and expertise in landscape architecture.”

Andrew is leading the landscape design to develop the overall masterplan and indicative design for the landscape and public realm areas, streetscape network, sustainable urban drainage features and indicative site levels.

Alex attained a Master’s with a Distinction in landscape architecture from The University of Sheffield, where he specialised in landscape design and planning with a focus on creation and management of landscapes for long term sustainability.
