Landscape Design

GSA believes in creating spaces that can bring the people close to nature. Our concept ideas begin with intense research before providing a particular design solution. We always strive to integrate ecological principles in our projects and ultimately contribute towards improving the overall quality of life.

We aim to create a balance between constructed spaces and natural systems. We have extensive experience in preparing large-scale urban master plans and urban design plans including landscape interventions, waterfront projects, parks, squares and theme based gardens. Our consultancy services include landscape design, planting design, lighting strategy, Irrigation strategy and Material specification package.

Urban Design

GSA’s approach to Urban Design & Master Planning projects acknowledges the relationship of the communities, urban form, technological systems as well as the effects of global issues on our cities.

 

Place making for quality of life

GSA Urban design proposals are built on our insight into the way places influence wellbeing, work and lifestyle, as well as technical understanding of interconnected systems such as transport, energy, waste and information. GSA’s planners and designers understand how place making can shape the future of a location. The location specific design solution for various cities is delivering urban working and living environments that will attract local and international investment, transforming the future of the city centre.

 

Innovation

Urban environments are becoming increasingly complex; issues such as changes to household makeup, land scarcity and air quality require innovative solutions. GSA’s technical understanding of all layers of the built environment allows our master planners to redefine urban living and working practices.
