Founded by Nicholas Atherton in 2013, Natural Dimensions specialises in landscape architecture and urban design.

Our passion is the creation of well thought out, meaningful spaces and enlightened land planning which creates connections with natural elements  and outdoor spaces through diversity, movement and multi sensory interactions. This is a  passion which goes far beyond professional qualifications and has energised  the accumulation of knowledge and skill across several sectors which encompass small and large scale design and planning.

We love cities, and much of our motivation to design is underpinned by an  understanding of what makes great places through the combination of architecture and the urban fabric.

Our goal is to help companies, organisations, communities and individuals reap the rewards of design in the form of landscape aesthetics and features, natural systems, environmental enhancement and the wellbeing of citizens. Natural Dimensions fuses natural and built elements into site design from the outset to maximise benefits and effect and we work with a number of prestigious clients and renowned practices to achieve our goal.

Our work encompasses private garden design, landscape architecture, roof gardens, public art, landscape planning,  street design, city space design, urban master-planning and Landscape/Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment. Working in close collaboration with our clients and key stakeholders, we turn aspirations into design reality.

Take a look at some examples of our work.
