Landscape architecture, garden design, placemaking & sculptures in Ireland.
We design public landscapes, placemaking projects and site-specific sculptures that respond to their surroundings.
Our work is grounded in local materials and traditional Irish craft, which we reinterpret in a contemporary way. We’re interested in how design can work with nature rather than against it – creating spaces that settle into the landscape over time instead of dominating it.
Our studio undertakes planning permission, visual assessments and garden design master plan schemes.
Collaboration with different design practices.
Elements of Action collaborates with different design practices in landscape and art projects. Recent teams in park, play spaces, healthcare & greenways with Kim Wilkie, Robert Bourke Architects Dublin, Natural Play Specialist Joanne Coughlan, Aoife Banville Visual Artist.
Our studio brings in the experience in project management delivery and theories of placemaking. We ensure meaningful community engagement and activity led co-design & collaborations for projects, and have a toolkit for connecting and assisting how visitors and locals experience and use public places.
