PWP Design are Simon, Adrian and Ian. Our story began at the Leeds Metropolitan University Landscape Architecture studio as first year students in 1995.
Our sister company PWP Landscape was founded by Ian and Adrian in 1998 who developed this into a nationally recognised garden design and build company.
PWP Design followed in 2015 with Simon joining to launch a standalone design practice, covering all aspects of landscape architecture.
It’s been a fantastic adventure with over 25 years of friendship at the core of what we do.
Design Director Simon Hall CMLI is heavily involved in every project. He has vast landscape architecture experience, working on complex, high profile, multi-disciplinary projects. He brings our clients the imagination and skills for any type and scale of project. Simon has helped a wide variety of clients across all sectors, from strategy and concept, through to gaining planning permission, detailed design and overseeing implementation. He is adept at advocating the benefits of quality design and supporting clients through the process. Simon spent five influential years working in Chicago, USA, specialising in creating riverside parks, streetscapes and healing landscapes. This was followed by ten years at a private practice in Leeds, with his designs built at MediaCityUK, Leeds Dock, Worksop Market Square and Northumberland Park. During this time he also led the design of the Rhubarb Crumble and Custard Garden, which won People’s Choice at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2010. Simon founded PWP Design in 2015 and is incredibly proud of the landscape architecture practice we have become and of everyone who has been part of our team.
