About and Contact – Jared Lockhart Design

ABOUT

Jared Lockhart Design is a landscape design practice based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Since establishing his studio in 2011, Jared Lockhart has worked on a variety of projects, delivering timeless spaces with respect to their history and natural surroundings.

JARED LOCKHART

Prior to launching his studio, Jared worked in London as an associate for eight years at Jinny Blom Landscape Design, creating high specification private gardens and classical landscapes within the UK, Continental Europe and the USA.

He also worked for two years at Allen Pyke Associates, a leading landscape architectural practice in Cambridge, England.

These formative years have helped shape Jared’s understanding of a diverse range of gardens to suit the needs of each client, from formal architecture to more organic spaces, combined with a personal sensibility that encourages each project to quietly and confidently mature through the seasons.

Jared Lockhart Design landscapes have also played a key part in several of the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) awarded projects over the years.

Today, Jared has grown his practice to a team of six dedicated employees working on projects across the North and South Islands of New Zealand, along with international projects in London, Florida and Maui. The practice is adept at communicating and working with a range of international clients on projects throughout New Zealand.
