Our landscape projects include
the spectrum of external places
and spaces. Projects vary in scale,
context and requirements.
Common to all is a commitment to the
highest design quality that results in
creative, dynamic, robust, site responsive
outcomes that contribute positively to
the environment and its inhabitants.
Tract is known for our engaging graphic
communication, utilising hand drawing,
CAD, and a suite of graphics programs.
Our landscape architects are
supported by an in-house Graphics,
3D_Design+Visualisation department to
best explore and promote our ideas.
Tracts vision for Gardens Point has been unfailingly accurate

the Gardens Point campus at QUT into a modern, integrated
environment that has become a pleasure to work and study in.
