Landscape architects CONTEXT have turned over a new leaf in early 2024, appointing a new Associate Director and making a move to a larger office space to pave the way for a future-focussed growth chapter.

Owner and Director Hamish Dounan has appointed Scott Jackson (pictured) to Associate Director, which will aid in the design and delivery of CONTEXT’s current and future projects, as well as invigorating the studio's culture and direction. Coinciding with the appointment, the practice has moved to a larger studio, located at Chippendale on the southern edge of the Sydney CBD.

“Having grown our team two-fold in the past 18 months, this is a dynamic new chapter in the studio’s evolution - defined by a future-focussed vision to realise ambitious new projects and collaborations locally and internationally,” Dounan says.

“Meanwhile, it also celebrates and reflects on our diverse existing portfolio which represents over 30 years of experience in designing landmark projects of significance across the built environment.”

In the wake of the new appointment and office move, the practice hopes to cement its place as a leader within the landscape architecture space, motivated to enhance connection between people and the natural environment.

“We are motivated to continue addressing some of the most significant challenges facing natural and urban environments today through our work - such as mitigating the effects of climate change, designing for Country, urban renewal, and improving connectivity via a human-centred approach to design. This mindset will underpin our approach in this new chapter,” adds Associate Director, Scott Jackson.
