About Krostil Design Ltd | Landscape Architecture Studio London

Our Story

From Hanover Square to the Whole of the UK

Krostil Design was founded on a simple belief: landscape architecture is not decoration—it's strategy. When we began in 2011, we set out to prove that beautiful gardens and green spaces could also be intelligent, sustainable, and deeply responsive to their environment and community. Starting from our studio in Hanover Square, London, we've grown to lead over 180 projects, each one testing our commitment to combining poetic design with rigorous environmental thinking.

Today, we work with homeowners, developers, and public bodies across the UK. We've redesigned private gardens in Chelsea and Kensington, led urban greening initiatives in Manchester and Birmingham, and guided masterplans for regeneration projects from Bristol to Edinburgh. Our team brings together landscape architects, environmental specialists, and design strategists. We listen hard, we research thoroughly, and we design with conviction. Every project is a chance to show that thoughtful landscape work matters—to people, communities, and the planet.
