AXIS has expertise in the design, planning and management of all aspects of the external environment. Our team of chartered Landscape Architects and Urban Designers help to make successful development possible through the considered design of buildings, groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes. Increasing emphasis on sustainability, liveability and environmental conservation means that the sensitive application of landscape and urban design skills is becoming a requirement for projects across many sectors. The AXIS design team can assist at all project stages, from strategic masterplanning through to detailed design and onsite supervision. We have a particularly strong track record in providing appropriate design inputs for major infrastructure projects. Fully integrated solutions marry the comprehensive range of environmental mitigation measures demanded by the regulatory regime with a sound operational design. This joined up coherent approach to design is a key component of successful planning submissions. AXIS utilises state of the art computer aided design software and can produce high quality illustrative output including exhibition material and computer-generated photomontages.
