conscience

As landscape architects, our work is primarily focussed on designing places for people; although we are committed to designing sustainably wherever possible, many project outcomes are focussed on humanity’s land, resource and water needs. Due to our deep and ongoing concern about the loss of our natural environment and associated extinction rates of our unique Australian species, since 2015 Rounsefell Design has donated annually to various not-for-profit organisations.
