McGregor Coxall

McGregor Coxall are proponents of a new wave of environmentally focused landscape architecture which is framed within a modernist design approach. Drawing on a diverse inhouse team with expertise in landscape architecture, urban design, architecture, graphics, planning, horticulture and urban ecology we cross traditional design boundaries. Our clients engage us and the new technologies we embrace to solve complex urban planning and design problems.

 

Adrian McGregor established the firm in 1998 and was joined by Philip Coxall in 2000 after returning from ten years working in Europe and Asia. The two studied landscape architecture together at the Environmental Design School in Canberra under Professor James Weirick in the mid 1980's. The practice has completed over 150 projects with built work in six countries. The partners jointly put projects through a rigorous process of contextual investigation and often challenge the client brief in order to find the best possible design and project outcomes. This process is evident in all our planning projects and built work.

 

Our services cross the traditional boundaries of urbanism, landscape, culture, planning and the natural sciences to achieve innovative solutions that create value for our clients' projects.

 

The design studio is directed by internationally experienced senior landscape architects and urban designers who are supported by a talented and committed team working in a collaborative environment. Staff have worked on projects located across Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, The United Kingdom, Greece, Germany and China.

 

The firm has award winning experience working in a diverse range of natural and built environments in the Australasian region and has completed over 250 projects. We regularly collaborate with other firms and disciplines either as lead consultant or as a design team member. In 2007 the company was selected as one of 22 finalists in the Telstra NSW small business awards from 4000 received entries.

 

The firm has been published in numerous Australian, European and Asian journals and awarded first prizes in three prestigious international design competitions including the Parramatta Road and Green Square Town Centre projects also receiving merit for the 530ha Hellenikon park competition in Athens and the Magok urban precinct in Korea. The Former BP Park project in North Sydney recently won five awards including the prestigious state award for excellence in landscape architecture in NSW.

 

Supporting our design services are efficient project management skills which have been demonstrated across a wide selection of project scales ranging from whole city regions to fine grain site designs.
