Tara Elliston, Senior Landscape Architect

Since joining HED in 2014, Tara has been involved in a diverse portfolio of projects, both in the UK and overseas. She has valuable experience working on projects from early concept design through to construction, across a broad range of sectors including; education (Arts University Bournemouth), transport (Doha Airport), residential schemes (Timekeeper’s Square, Salford), heritage (Stonehenge Visitor Enhancement Project), public realm (South Waterside and Thames Tideway) and five-star retreats in the Middle East.

Tara also spent several years working at a leading garden design studio. During this time, she honed her horticultural knowledge and gained experience in delivering high-end private residential schemes which ranged in scale and complexity, from small courtyard gardens to large country estates.

More recently, Tara has been working on the design development of an urban regeneration project in London, several rooftop gardens at various stages, and concept proposals for a linear courtyard in Saudi Arabia.
