About Us
Founded by Nicholas Atherton in 2013, Natural Dimensions specialises in landscape architecture and urban design.
We love cities, and much of our motivation to design is underpinned by an understanding of what makes great places through the combination of architecture and the urban fabric.
Our goal is to help companies, organisations, communities and individuals reap the rewards of design in the form of landscape aesthetics and features, natural systems, environmental enhancement and the wellbeing of citizens. Natural Dimensions fuses natural and built elements into site design from the outset to maximise benefits and effect and we work with a number of prestigious clients and renowned practices to achieve our goal.
Our work encompasses private garden design, landscape architecture, roof gardens, public art, landscape planning, street design, city space design, urban master-planning and Landscape/Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment. Working in close collaboration with our clients and key stakeholders, we turn aspirations into design reality.
