Projects at the intersection of people, place and ecology.

Rhizome's services

Rhizome is a landscape architecture, planning and ecology practice led by Simon Kilbane and Tam Hanson. Their work is driven by a strong respect for the natural world, with projects that cross multiple scales and form connections between ecology, people and place, through design.

Rhizome offers a human approach to the scientific. Projects are formed on a foundation of research and academic rigour, whilst being developed through an open, collaborative and positive approach that considers multiple perspectives. They are committed to creating a community around their work.

  • Our service aims to provide individuals and organizations with a deepened understanding of ecological thinking and processes. Through a carefully curated program, we offer a transformative experience that combines education, exploration, and practical application.
