GOODYEAR DESIGN
Landscape Design for Living In
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in the design services I offer.
Have a look around. You’ll find information about me, the services that I offer and examples of some of my work
About Me
I’m an experienced Lower Hutt based Landscape Architect, offering Landscape Architectural services to a broad range of public and private clients across the Wellington region of New Zealand,
With over 30 years as a Landscape Architect, mainly in the Wellington region, my experience spans projects ranging from courtyards through to subdivision developments, lifestyle blocks, large scale institutional developments, schools and playgrounds and Urban Design projects of all scales
The small size of the practice and familiarity with local conditions ensures a personalised service responsive to specific client needs and delivers innovative, practical and high quality solutions at a reasonable cost
SERVICES
Site Planning
- Thoughtful site planning can make a significant difference to a successful development. I can provide assistance for site selection and in the overall layout of the site to ensure that the layout makes the most of the character and any design opportunities that the site offers
Landscape Design
- From Concept design through to construction detailing and Planting Design.
- Detailed design of landform, planting, surfaces, structures and furniture, etc.
- Construction detailing is as much a part of the design process as the concept and we can take your project from concept to working drawings and tender documentation
Urban Design
- Working as a sole consultant or as a member of a multi – disciplinary team, landscape architectural services can be provided for urban design projects ranging from the development of long term strategies and proposals for towns and central area revitalisation programmes through to landscape improvement schemes for plazas, streets and city parks.
Resource Consent
- Landscape and planting planning is frequently integral to the success of resource and building consent applications so I offer expertise in the preparation of landscape designs for subdivisions, medium density housing including planting plans, revegetation and vegetation management plans, visual simulations, landscape and visual impact assessments
Construction Design / Implementation
- The design process extends from the concept design through to construction. Detailed design drawings include construction details, planting plans, specifications for resource or building consent, and for the seeking of competitive tender prices that are comparable and clarify the scope of works
Visual Simulations
- I place a strong focus on visual material and graphics to enhance understanding of the design and I make extensive use of computer technology to assist in the creation of plans, renderings and 3D computer models. Use of 3D models and plans makes it much easier to understand the design so that clients can be confident that the design will meet their requirements before committing to construction
PORTFOLIO
Below is a selection of projects I’ve undertaken:
RESIDENTIAL
Over the last 20 plus years I have been involved in the design of hundreds of residential gardens ranging from courtyards to lifestyle blocks, from initial consultations through to detailed design and construction management
EDUCATIONAL
Educational projects cab be among the most interesting and rewarding projects and I have been fortunate to have been involved in the development of numerous schools, play centres, pre-schools and playgrounds
URBAN DESIGN
During the 1990’s I worked as a consultant Landscape Architect with Urban Design Consultants, a Wellington based Urban Design firm. As part of a multi-disciplinary design team, I was fortunate to work on a variety of large scale Urban Design and development projects throughout the country – some images of which can be seen below
COMMERCIAL / INSTITUTIONAL
My experience extends to numerous commercial and institutional projects such as the landscape architectural aspects of subdivisions, retirement villages and multi unit residential developments through to commercial projects, including business parks, infrastructure developments and car parks
