About

Shubin + Tan Landscape Architecture is a studio specialising in designing beautiful, climate-positive landscape for the vulnerable in society and nature to thrive. The studio provides landscape architectural services with a hyper-sustainable and thorough design process. We provide interdependent resilient landscapes for the climate and ultimately, the Earth. Shubin + Tan provides master planning, landscape architecture and urban design services. As practitioners and academics, we believe collaboration brings synergies. We work with specialists such as engineers, hydrologists, ecologists, arborists, horticulturists to bring better outcomes to each design. 

Approach 

Mimicking the Earth’s processes, a system-thinking approach is applied to the design process along with a highly refined development process of landscape details. Development can be beneficial to both the environment and society. At Shubin + Tan Landscape Architecture, we are motivated to develop our projects with the following in mind.
