Calyx is a sole
practitioner landscape architecture and environmental design company that aims
to provide the highest quality outcomes through innovative and ecologically
sensitive responses to client requirements while respecting natural and
cultural components of a site.
At Calyx, a
select range of projects are undertaken and as a client you get a bespoke
product with direct and personal attention.
The Calyx design philosophy results in places which embody the essence
of the landscape and its context balanced by the needs and desires of its
users.
Renee Davies,
landscape architect, is passionate about the environment, landscape and
design. She has over twelve years of
professional experience with an award-winning portfolio of landscape and
environmental design and planning work in addition to environmental education
and communication projects.
At Calyx we
believe that one of the greatest demands of the landscape architect is to be a
sensitive, smart and positive conduit for change. This can only be achieved with a full
understanding of the deep drivers of landscape change and a strong
understanding and knowledge of the biological systems that are a part of our
landscapes. With that understanding
appropriate responses to change can be achieved.
Our services
include landscape planning, landscape architecture (public and private design
projects), environmental education and ecological restoration. Niche areas of specialisation include parks
and open space design and planning, living roofs and general urban ecological
design initiatives.
Similar to the
protective leaves encasing a developing bud, Calyx provides a sensitive and
protective support to ensure
appropriate, resilient and beautiful designs.
