Who we are

About Spiire

We are creative thinkers

We seek to challenge conventionalism to achieve bespoke outcomes for our clients and communities. Our team explores ideas in partnership with our clients to deliver original and inspired outcomes. This creative approach allows us to deliver award-winning sustainable, inclusive and culturally respectful places in strive for more resilient communities.

We work together

We bring together design champions in a collaborative process across all our disciplines. This integration of skills allows us to deliver holistic designs that unlock the social, cultural, environmental and economic value of projects.

We regularly collaborate with our in-house engineers and urban designers to deliver Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) that effectively combine functionality with aesthetics and ecological sustainability.

We collaborate with our Visual Media team to use digital technologies to refine ideas, using 3D laser scanning and terrain modelling, 3D renders, animations, fly-throughs, and augmented reality to aid designers and clients to interact with a proposed design.

We are local

As local consultants we are connected to the communities we live and work within; shopping, dining, exercising and accessing professional services including childcare and healthcare locally.

We strongly believe in providing project outcomes appropriate for our local community context and take a site-specific approach to each project. We have a sound appreciation of regional issues and understand and support the diverse range of aspirations within our communities.

Our strong relationships with local government and authorities across our locations, uniquely positions us to provide expert local knowledge relevant to the design, development and functioning of local projects.

We are connected to the industry

Our team is connected with industry; we are active members of Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA), Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), Parks and Leisure Australia and Play Australia. We believe that this connection is integral to delivering forward-thinking, innovative outcomes for our clients. In addition, we have long-standing relationships with local and State Government authorities.

About Spiire

Landscape architecture services

Masterplanning

Our core design philosophy is to create places for people, bringing out the qualities that make the space unique. We use the public realm to narrate the history, social stories, cultural significance and the ecological attributes of the site. At the centre of this is our respect for indigenous connection to place and working with Traditional Owners.

Spiire is an industry leader in delivering high-quality, large-scale master planned communities across Vic, Qld, NSW and the ACT. These award-winning developments showcase our strong landscape vision and our commitment to creating lasting community legacies.

Schematic design

Whether we’re designing a commercial, residential, or public realm, schematic design brings our vision to life, enabling us to dive deeper and flesh out each intricate element to create a comprehensive, buildable design scheme.

We combine our experience in public realm, open space, play, Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), place-making and art installation to craft spaces that captivate people. We work in partnership with our clients to understand their objectives and create a story and a cohesive vision for the project.

Detailed design

We understand the detailed design phase is a critical step in the landscape planning and development process, involving the careful preparation of all necessary documentation for submission to the relevant authorities. Our teams liaise closely with clients, allowing for a comprehensive review and the opportunity to provide valuable feedback before the detailed drawings are finalised.

As a unique landscape architecture consultancy, we offer in-house industrial design services, allowing us to seamlessly transition our custom designs into the next stage of the project.

Construction consultancy services

Our specialised and dedicated team of contract and tender administration professional have backgrounds in landscape construction, maintenance, horticulture, and land management. Our inhouse team ensure quality assurance, design integrity and effective design processes that account for buildability, with services including overseeing construction to ensure compliance with documentation, preparation of change orders, resolution of site and design issues and RFI reviews.
