After six years leading McGregor Coxall’s Melbourne studio together, we shared an ambition to start a studio that enabled us to practice landscape architecture in full alignment with our values. Values of reciprocity, ecology, and community.

Together we bring over 30 years of industry experience and local knowledge to every project, guided by our profound love for this land and the communities it sustains. We have an ecology of talent to service our projects according to need, we curate teams to suit.

From master planning to design and detailed documentation, we approach every project with curiosity, professionalism, and a sharp, critical eye. We believe in the power of deep listening, strategic thinking and collaborative design to create processes and places that matter.

We named the studio after Merri Creek, the habitat corridor and parklands that flows through our local landscape, honouring both its ecological importance and its role as a connector of communities values that lie at the heart of our practice.
