ABOUT
Topio
From the Greek word topío, meaning landscape.
“Landscape is not simply a grouping of earth, plants and waters – it is the projection of the soul of a people upon matter.”
— Odysseas Elytis
Founded in 2013 by landscape architect Nicola Anastas, Topio is a design practice grounded in a deep respect for place.
Our work draws from the textures, tones and rhythms of the natural environment, particularly the bushland and coastlines of the South West, the landscape we call home.
Each project responds to the unique qualities of its site – its context, constraints and potential, as well as the way people live, move and connect within it.
We work closely with our clients in a hands-on, site-responsive way, crafting landscapes that feel both considered and natural. Over time these gardens become quiet extensions of their setting, strengthening the connection between people, architecture and the land they inhabit.
If this approach to landscape resonates with you, we welcome you to get in contact.
