What we practice

04DISCIPLINES

Four disciplines, one continuous process, from ground survey to built form.

01

ARCHITECTURE

Design / Documentation / Spatial Planning

02

URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN

Master Planning / Policy / Public Realm

03

LANDSCAPE

Landscape Architecture / Ecology / Open Space

04

GEOMATICS

GIS / Survey / Spatial Data Analysis

PROCESS / 001–004

We research before we design

A place is read before it is drawn.

RESEARCH / 001

Site Reading

Understanding context: history, use, movement and community, before a line is drawn.

DATA / 002

Spatial Data

GIS mapping, survey and quantitative capture of the physical and social terrain.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS / 003

Analysis

Overlaying data sets to surface patterns, constraints and opportunities on site.

DESIGN RESPONSE / 004

Response

Translating findings into architectural, urban and landscape propositions.

We don't simply make designs; we research and analyse places first, so every spatial response is grounded in evidence.

Research / Geomatics GIS SPATIAL ANALYSIS RESEARCH

A practice built at the intersection of design and data.

Playmakers works across architecture, urban planning, landscape and geomatics, treating each project as both a spatial and a research problem. We work with planning authorities, developers, NGOs and communities to shape places that function, endure and belong.

Every commission begins on the ground: mapped, measured and understood before it is designed.

10+YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
THE PRACTICE

A decade of practice, three schools of thought.

We have 10+ years of professional experience, and are alumnus of Mumbai University, CEPT University and Newcastle University.
