the practice

Rummey Design take a holistic approach to design in the external environment where architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and the environment are integrated to create places that are attractive commercially, socially and environmentally. The quality of 'place' is vital to our work.

Our skills in urban design, masterplanning, landscape and development planning have been honed by long exposure to regeneration and new development projects in the UK and abroad. We have experience of Science Parks, residential, resort and private developments. This long experience has been recognised by many RIBA, Landscape Institute, Civic Trust and BURA awards, and a shortlisting for the Stirling Prize.
