ARCHITECTURE & LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Where Land
Becomes Landmark

AURELIA designs the ground and the structure as one act — every building begins as a reading of its site.

Scroll to shape the land

We don't design buildings and then landscape around them. We read a site's topography, light, water and wind first — the architecture is what the land was already asking for.

Three wings radiate from a circular courtyard atrium. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, step inside the courtyard, or switch to the floor plan — the same model our engineers work from.

PROCESS
01

Site

Topography, sunlight paths, water flow, prevailing wind, existing vegetation — surveyed before a single line is drawn.

02

Concept

The land's constraints become the design brief: where it slopes, where it floods, where it should stay untouched.

03

Form

Massing and structure respond directly to the site reading — never a template dropped onto a plot.

04

Landscape

Planting, grading and hardscape are designed alongside the building, not after it — one continuous plan.

05

Build

Construction documentation and on-site supervision through to handover, with the landscape maturing on schedule.

Built for Climate, Not Just Form

AURELIA is a nine-person studio working across architecture and landscape design. Every project carries a climate-responsive strategy — passive solar orientation, native planting, permeable ground — because a building that ignores its site ages badly, no matter how it photographs on day one.

  • Architecture & landscape design under one roof
  • Climate-responsive, passive-first strategy on every site
  • In-house 3D and parametric modeling, no outsourced renders
  • On-site supervision from groundbreaking to planting
