Robert Finnie Design Approach

Robert’s approach

With a true passion for design and horticulture, Robert’s signature planting style reflects a thoughtful and respectful process, including meticulous consideration of every aspect of each site and its architecture. His principles are to:


Show restraint when selecting a material palette


Achieve healthy movement and circulation throughout a space


Incorporate environmentally conscious methods resulting in sustainable outcomes


Ensure proportional balance between the botanical elements and the built forms


Robert focuses on the connections of the site; physical, historical and metaphorical. He not only considers site conditions, aspect, and style of architecture, but also ensures the personality, individuality and lifestyle needs of his clients are enhanced by the landscape.
