Corkery Consulting is an award winning design practice of landscape architects who maintain a disciplined commitment to work with clients to create engaging and sustainable public spaces and 'green infrastructure'.
The evolution of Corkery Consulting began at Cornell University in the USA when Noel and Linda were both completing Master of Landscape Architecture degrees. Through that experience we have strengthened our commitment to a research-based urban and landscape design process, which continues to underpin our approach to all projects.
Our team combines professional qualifications that include landscape architecture, planning, forestry, horticulture, art and design together with business management. We have gained knowledge and experience through involvement in projects throughout Australia and overseas.
As Professor Emeritus at the University of NSW and former head of the Landscape Architecture Program in the Faculty of the Built Environment, Linda brings to the practice current research, discussion and thinking around urban design and landscape architecture.
Noel brings to projects the experience from many decades of managing multi-disciplinary design teams and working in collaboration with a diverse range of other professionals.
The combination of masters in both landscape architecture and business administration has allowed Noel to manage and engage with multi-disciplinary design teams on a diverse range of complex urban and landscape projects.
‘Green infrastructure’ forms the primary focus of our practice, including public open spaces, parks, urban places, restoration and reuse of sites, highways and power projects.
The scope of our services extends across visual assessment, landscape analysis, site master planning, urban and landscape design, detailed design, documentation and management.
We share a common view with our clients that the best design outcomes for complex urban and landscape design projects are achieved through a truly collaborative relationship.
Our commitment to high quality urban and landscape design has been extended by Corkery Consulting becoming the corporate member of the Landscape Foundation of Australia.
We are actively engaged in helping the Foundation to achieve its goal of ensuring the protection, restoration and sustainable management of landscapes and natural environments in Australian cities and towns. The Foundation supports community-based projects, research, scholarships that are focused on creative and sustainable landscape planning, design and management that halt biodiversity loss and mitigates the impacts of climate change.
Our commitment to high quality and creative work has been recognised by professional awards that include:
