Science based approach to Landscape and Place-making
As part of the continued evolution of our practice, we’re pleased to welcome David Uhlmann as our Biodiversity Lead Landscape Architect. David joins our diverse team to strengthen our commitment to science-based, ecological solutions in landscape design. His expertise enhances our ability to integrate biodiversity and sustainability into every stage of our projects, ensuring outcomes that are both environmentally responsible and improve amenity for students and staff.
At Wilson Architects, we recognise that today’s challenges—climate change, cultural reconciliation, rapid urbanisation, and social equity—require more than good design. They demand collaboration. Our approach brings together diverse voices: architects, landscape designers, ecologists, Indigenous knowledge holders, economists, and researchers. Together, we craft integrated solutions tailored to the complex realities of our time.
Holistic, Interdisciplinary Practice
All disciplines are involved from day one—working together, not in silos—ensuring every project benefits from a fully integrated design process.
Biodiversity-Positive Design
We aim to leave every site better than we found it, especially on previously degraded (brownfield) land—enhancing ecological value as part of the project outcome.
Regenerative, Science-Led Design
Our work is grounded in ecological science, not just visual appeal. Input from expert ecologists helps us achieve measurable biodiversity and sustainability outcomes.
Aligned with Client ESD Goals
Clients are increasingly expected to report on environmental performance. Our design process supports and aligns with grounding corporate strategy in project outcomes.
Design with Country
Projects integrate Indigenous cultural knowledge with local biodiversity science—delivering authentic storytelling, respect for place, and meaningful ecological outcomes.
Collaborative Expert Network
We augment skill-sets of in-house specialists with external expertise bringing in the right expertise for each unique site.
Starting Where Others Finish
While many firms add environmental input late in the process, we embed it from the beginning—making our work more authentic, impactful, and future-ready.
