The Studio
The Practice
We are a landscape and garden design practice established in 2017 by Elizabeth Tyler.
We believe in creating beautiful, site-specific and plant-led landscapes in collaboration with our clients. With a focus on plants, experience with historic landscapes and ecological knowledge we bring a full range of skills to our projects and relish new challenges and opportunities.
Current projects include country estates in Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and East Sussex, a listed garden in Hampshire, a new pub with rooms in West Sussex and various wonderful London gardens.

Inspired and enlivened by nature and the historic for as long as she can remember, Elizabeth brings this to every one of her projects. Upon completion of her Diploma, Elizabeth worked for Marcus Barnett Studio in London on a variety of international projects, before setting up her own practice in 2017. She is now based in Wiltshire. She also writes about landscapes and gardens, throughout history and across the world. Recent work has appeared in FT Weekend, T Magazine, House & Garden and Vogue.
