42 Roles in the Built Environment - Landscape Architect

"There are lots of different skills in landscape architecture. We are the jack of all trades and the master of none. You’ve got to know about horticulture, materials, planning, architecture, lighting and culture" - Kate Weston

Kate is a director of Asri, a boutique landscape design studio based in Manchester, UK.

Kate is a Chartered Landscape Architect and holds a degree and postgraduate diploma in Landscape Architecture from Leeds Metropolitan University.   

Asri focusses on high-end garden design, residential design, and small scale bespoke commercial design. Asri’s schemes aim to be evocative and awaken the senses, spaces that enhance physical and mental wellbeing are at heart of the practice. Asri has a strong focus on planting design with an emphasis on craft and beautiful detailing. 

Outside of work, Kate loves all things constant yoga, food and travel.
