Founded by Nicholas Atherton in 2013, Natural Dimensions specialises in landscape architecture and urban design. We love cities, and much of our motivation to design is underpinned by an understanding of what makes great places through the combination of architecture and the urban fabric. Our goal is to help companies, organisations, communities and individuals reap the rewards of design in the form of landscape aesthetics and features, natural systems, environmental enhancement and the wellbeing of citizens.

Natural Dimensions fuses natural and built elements into site design from the outset to maximise benefits and effect and we work with a number of prestigious clients and renowned practices to achieve our goal. Our work encompasses private garden design, landscape architecture, roof gardens, public art, landscape planning, street design, city space design, urban master-planning and Landscape/Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment. Working in close collaboration with our clients and key stakeholders, we turn aspirations into design reality.

Take a look at some examples of our work. Nick has a genuine passion for landscape architecture having worked in the field for many years. He continues to consume and learn, building upon his 20 years’ experience as a chartered landscape architect, his masters in Urban Design and his membership of the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers.

Having a lifelong affinity with the natural world, Nick enjoys both the strategic aspects to site design and the detailing of a design, to make sure that a scheme sits well in its context and is also a joy to be within. He also curates and designs artistic elements within the landscape. Nick’s professional mission is to work to enable landscape architecture and urban design to be at the heart of development, with the many benefits it brings for all, including an increasingly important positive ecological impact.
