What we offer
  • While Geoff was employed by the SWA Group (landscape architects), he and I worked together closely for a number of years - first in the overall development of a campus master plan and then in its implementation. Geoff is not only creative in his design approach but is also a problem solver and a team player. I personally was sorry to loose him when he decided to relocate.

He would make an assett to any major development team.

  • I had a great pleasure to closely collaborate with Geoff on several Yas Island public realm improvement projects and neighbourhood master planning projects. At that time (2009-11) we had an exciting, fruitful collaboration between UPC team and Aldar design team who was tasked to deliver a range of high quality public projects with incredibly short deadlines. I was extremely impressed with breadth of urban/landscape design and project management expertise Geoff displayed and by his absolute dedication to a quality of design and challenging implementation timelines. I also appreciated his sense of humour and excellent communication skills that helped all of us to deliver our tasks in a most joyful way.

  • Geoff and I worked together on Yas Island when we were developing Yas Mall, Ferrari World and Warner Brothers theme parks and the Waterpark. He is a very competent in his field and highly dependable in fulfilling his commitments. I found him very easy to work with as he is both creative and flexible in achieving the best outcomes for a given project. I would gladly work with him again and certainly recommend him highly to any other high quality developer who wants the best for his project.
