Drawing from a diverse range of global capability, we create specialised project teams tailored to client needs.

Our four disciplines include the Biourbanism Lab, Sustainability & Climate Resilience, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design teams. Led by global and studio discipline leaders they work independently or together as either project lead, consultant or collaborator.

Working locally in our city studios and collaborating globally to deliver projects across ten market sectors, the four disciplines provide a vertically integrated suite of services. The McGregor Coxall Global Design Group works alongside the disciplines to undertake project reviews using the Biourbanism Place Prosperity Indicators to ensure clients receive creative, high quality solutions.

Offers bespoke digital twin technology and geospatial intelligence for smart city design, climate forecasting, and resilience planning.

Landscape Architecture

Deploys creative design thinking to deliver resilient and innovative outcomes for public spaces, parks and green infrastructure.

Sustainability & Climate Resilience

Provides resilience services and nature-based solutions for cities, urban settlements, coastlines, waterways and environments.
