Healing does not only happen indoors — therapeutic gardens and carefully designed outdoor spaces play a measurable role in patient recovery, staff wellbeing and the quality of care environments.

At Architecture Social, we partner with landscape practices and healthcare design consultancies whose work includes therapeutic gardens, sensory landscapes and healing outdoor environments for hospitals, hospices and mental health facilities. We maintain active shortlists of senior landscape architects with healthcare sector knowledge for roles as they emerge.

What our clients typically ask for:
• Senior landscape architects with a genuine interest in health and wellbeing design
• Experience designing therapeutic or sensory gardens informed by horticultural therapy principles
• Knowledge of NHS estates challenges including infection control, maintenance constraints and accessibility
• Ability to produce detailed planting plans using sensory and therapeutic plant palettes
• Skills in collaborating with occupational therapists, clinical psychologists and estates teams
• Experience managing construction works within operational healthcare settings
• Understanding of evidence-based landscape design and its measurable impact on patient outcomes

If your landscapes contribute to healing and recovery, we want to hear from you.
