Experienced, creative and passionate. The Somewhere team consists of Alex Dalglish, Rachel Tokley, Olivia Turner, Emma Baldry and Sally Carson. We treat every project as a journey of design that continues to thrill and entice us to go further, try harder, experiment, be innovative, have fun and exceed expectation.
Alex Dalglish is the principal landscape architect and founder of Somewhere, based 'somewhere' near Young in the Central West of NSW. She is the official dreamer of the group and the 'old fashioned one' that still scratches away with pen, pencil, charcoal and everything in between. She has a reputation as a great designer and listener as the process of design for her is visceral. Alex is dedicated to the idea of memory in the landscape; both in creating them and revealing and integrating existing ones.
Rachel Tokley is a landscape architect who has been integral to the growth of Somewhere over the past 6 years. She is the cad genius, photographer and the official wanderer; she is currently somewhere on the Nullabor Plain and has such earned the moniker of anywhere@somewhere.In 2011 Rachel is heading back to Canberra where she will take care of projects in this area. Rachel is dedicated to producing designs with artistic flair that reflect her wanderings and the knowledge she gleans along the way.
Olivia Turner is a landscape designer who joined Somwhere three years ago and has also been integral in growing our business. She is based in Forbes and handles all of our work in the central west. Olivia is the organised member of the team and a great communicator of ideas both verbally and visually. Her experience in local government has been invaluable for Somewhere being involved in larger scale community projects. Olivia is dedicated to the communities she serves and provides great results for every site she works on.
Emma Baldry is a plantswoman and gardener who joined our team in 2009 lending us her expertise and knowledge on plants and enabling us to experiment with unusual plants and their groupings. Emma is dedicated to defining the plants that characterize what an Australian garden is both now and what it can evolve in to.
Sally Carson is the office manager who also joined us in 2009 and fitted in so well we don't know what we did before she came. Previous to working for Somewhere she was the state manager for Space and as such she has brought a wealth of experience and skill in client and supplier relationships. She is fabulous at sourcing materials from far and wide but also in seeking out local artists, fabricators and growers so that we can use local suppliers wherever we work. Sally is a dedicated to providing the best possible outcome for our clients.
