The spaces between buildings matter as much as the buildings themselves — communal gardens, play areas, roof terraces and streetscapes define how residents experience their homes every day.

At Architecture Social, we work with landscape architecture practices and residential design studios whose projects include major housing developments, build-to-rent schemes and mixed-use residential communities across London and the UK. Through ongoing dialogue with our clients, we maintain active shortlists of senior landscape architects with strong residential portfolios for roles as they arise.

What our clients typically ask for:
• Senior landscape architects with extensive residential landscape design experience
• Knowledge of London Borough planning requirements, Secured by Design principles and London Plan open space standards
• Experience with rooftop gardens, podium landscapes and intensive green roof systems
• Ability to produce construction-level planting and hard landscape packages through to practical completion
• Skills in coordinating with developers, planning officers, housing associations and maintenance companies
• Proficiency in Vectorworks or AutoCAD with strong horticultural knowledge
• Understanding of long-term landscape management and maintenance considerations for residential schemes

If your landscapes make housing developments feel like genuine communities, we want to hear from you.
