THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK
Our
Team.
We are a small studio of three women based in regional New South Wales. We work closely, think carefully, and care deeply about the places and people we work for. We combine creative thinking with practical knowledge to design gardens and landscapes that are thoughtful, climate responsive and of place.
— FOUNDER
Alex
Dalglish
PRINCIPAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
At the heart of the studio, Alex is the dreamer and guiding creative force. She still begins most ideas the old-fashioned way believing that drawing by hand keeps the design process instinctive and connected to place.
Known for both her design sensibility and her ability to truly listen, Alex approaches each project as a conversation between people and landscape. Her work is shaped by a deep interest in memory within the land, revealing what already exists, respecting what has come before, and creating new spaces that will gather their own stories over time.
Olivia
Turner
Olivia is a clear communicator of ideas, both verbally and visually. Based in Forbes, she leads and manages many of our projects across the Central West.
Her background in horticulture and local government brings valuable insight, particularly when navigating larger community and public landscape projects. She has a strong connection to the region and the communities she works within, approaching each project with care, practicality and a commitment to delivering thoughtful outcomes for every client.
Molly
Johnson
Molly brings a thoughtful approach to design, with a particular interest in how landscapes support everyday life. She values spaces that feel grounded and natural, where planting, materials and form sit comfortably within their setting.
Her studies in Sustainability in Canberra have given her an important focus on people and their relationship with the natural environment. At Somewhere, Molly works across a range of projects, contributing careful research, clear thinking and a genuine sensitivity to place. She believes the most successful landscapes are those that feel as though they have always belonged.
