Our designs always endeavor to put people and the environment first. Our global team of over 360 visionary landscape architects, creatives and engineers is driven by the desire to create a positive difference in people’s lives. We believe landscape architecture is about place-making as much as design. Our work enables the shaping of communities and cultural expression and celebration, improving the lives and well-being of the people who will use the landscape spaces we design. Paul Cracknell started the Practice in London in 1987 with the intention to develop the extraordinary power of landscape to shape communities and make a positive social difference.

Since then, Cracknell has brought change to millions of people’s lives through an ambitious portfolio of open spaces, waterfronts, plazas, streetscapes and parks in all sectors across the globe. Originating in the UK and expanding into the Middle East, Asia and Europe, Cracknell has developed into one of today’s most recognized landscape architecture, urban design and master planning practices.

Our work ranges from world-famous iconic landmarks to sensitive settings for cultural heritage, from sustainable retail and resort destinations to the open spaces of city parks, plazas and green residential communities. We have helped shape the standards of landscape and urban design in the UAE and the Gulf Region and set a benchmark for landscape quality and excellence.
