About Dan Pearson Studio
Dan Pearson Studio is a landscape design practice established in 1987 by internationally recognised landscape designer, Dan Pearson.
We work in close collaboration with architects, designers and craftsmen on a wide range of projects, from private domestic gardens through to large rural estates, public parks and urban realm landscapes.
We consider our key strength to be ‘place making’, which comes from a responsive and integrated consideration of the site and its inherent sense of place. Designs are developed through a full dialogue with the surrounding environment, buildings and users of the space. In this way we identify the most appropriate route to arrive at simple, functional and emotionally uplifting environments.
The naturalistic use of plants is fundamental to the studio’s work and our experience and understanding of natural ecologies and habitats results in painterly planting schemes that express a heightened naturalism and are uniquely suited to each project. We value the ephemeral nature of gardens, and create planting schemes that reflect the natural cycles, whilst providing year round interest through use of a considered plant palette.
