Disciplines

Expertise


Our mission is to create exceptional and sustainable outcomes for our clients.

Our multidisciplinary team combine expertise across landscape architecture, urban design and environment design underpinned by enterprise geospatial information products to help clients achieve, if not exceed, overarching goals. We do this safely and consistently for every client – whatever the challenge, wherever they are in the world.



Expertise

Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture facilitates meaningful, sustainable connections between people and place. As cities compete globally to retain talent in the knowledge economy the quality of their public space offering is used as a key measure of their livability. Great cities possess active public spaces that act as a stage for city life.

Our landscape architecture services deploy robust design solutions that deliver beneficial development and conservation legacies. We embrace the notion that intelligent regenerative design intervention produces definable economic, social and ecological benefits to cities and communities.


Urbanism

Complex living entities, today's cities and urban regions embody the aspirations and spirit of our diverse cultures.  Dynamic and ever evolving, our built environments are places of constant social and political change.

Incorporating biocity research, digital analysis and advanced consultation methods, we collaborate with our clients to find solutions for addressing complex urban challenges. Using our biourbanism platform we assist private and public clients develop enabling policies, urban strategies and implementation guides. Our work encompasses metropolitan planning, precinct regeneration and place activation. Inclusive in process, we deliver design services that unite disparate parties to deliver mutually beneficial outcomes for clients, communities and the environment.

Environment

The trend towards increased global urbanisation brings both challenges and opportunities to our natural environment. A growing number of prosperous cities are embracing those opportunities by utilising green infrastructure technologies to produce renewable energy and nurture biodiversity within their boundaries. Reducing carbon intensity and maintaining healthy ecologies is beneficial to human health.

We provide environmental services to the water and energy sectors. Supported by our biocity research we assist private and public clients set targets, develop policies, and prepare environmental plans. Incorporating technologically advanced engineering and ecological sciences, our systems based design approach enhances the resilience of urban, rural and natural environments.

The water sensitive urban design [WSUD] solutions we create are deployed across regions, cities, and catchments to assist clients and communities mitigate water scarcity, flooding and stormwater pollution. Integrating geospatial data, 3D terrain modelling and 3D hydraulic analysis we create science based land use capability mapping to support our masterplanning services.


Biourbanism Lab

Biourbanism Lab is McGregor Coxall’s research and development arm whose dedicated focus is to intensify resilience in cities through data-driven modelling and advanced design research.

Recognising that cities need disruptive, smart solutions to tackle shared global challenges, McGregor Coxall established the Biocity Research Lab in 2006. Reborn as the Biourbanism Lab in 2022, we develop insights through spatial digital twins using advanced location intelligence modelling and geospatial technologies. Data-led practice is the validation behind our resilient landscape architecture, urban design, and engineering practices globally.

Biourbanism Lab is led by academics and practitioners who solve complex urban challenges through the application of GIS, BIM, and computational methods in design. We work with governments, academia, and public and private sectors to amplify McGregor Coxall’s evolving interdisciplinary ethos and knowledge economy – building a less carbon-intensive, more informed and more prosperous future one project at a time.
