About Me


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.
