Full-time Landscape Architect and Project Landscape Architect sought to join Planit-IE’s Standish studio — The Gatehouse and 5th Studio in Gloucestershire.
Planit-IE is a B Corp accredited practice, working to harness the power of business as a force for good. Along with over 4,000 businesses globally, we are collectively setting new corporate standards for social, environmental and ethical performance. We are Landscape Architects, Urban Designers and Visualisers who help to create better futures through collective design. Our dedication to quality, in everything we do, ensures we deliver extraordinary places.
As Urban Designers and Landscape Architects, we approach all our projects by gathering knowledge of a site’s history, geography, geology and ecology. We engage with the communities that surround them and try to ground ourselves in the place and start to develop a curiosity and passion for its long-term potential. On one such commission in Gloucestershire, for an enabling development on a former historic estate, we developed a deeper curiosity for the special qualities of the site and the people that we had encountered along the way and began to hatch a plan.
When you spot an opportunity that feels right, it often is. Having the conviction and determination to follow it through is hard work and why many never see the light of day. The Gatehouse is our 5th Studio and has taken 4 years to realise. It draws on all our years of knowledge and experience. It was designed by our friends and collaborators at FCBS, has been built by local people who are passionate about their craft, has 8 acres of fertile land, sits within an AONB on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment, and is very much a privilege, responsibility, and a project in and of itself.
It’s a laboratory, a classroom, a workshop, a meeting place, a productive landscape, a kitchen, a theatre, a library, a studio, a community cafe, and guest house that will help to shape and inform our designs and thinking about a better future, with support from the wider Planit family.
We are going to be heightening our relationship with nature, working with our hands, furthering our knowledge through practical application and experimentation in the field, building on existing and new relationships and collaborations, sharing our learning and experiences through all possible means, and others yet unimagined.
We are now in occupation and ready to build a small team to challenge, provoke and test new ways of thinking about what matters in our work and how we can continue to do improve our knowledge and creativity with greater purpose.
As the first B Corp of our type in the world, we have a duty to practice what we preach, with a commitment to people and planet sitting equally alongside our better business aims. We are on the journey to becoming a carbon zero business by 2030 and through our membership of the B Lab Global Climate Collective we are collaborating with change makers both within and outside of the traditional built environment businesses. You will be joining Planit at an exciting period, as we continue to collectively take forward our B Corp aspirations and ambitions and realise our goal to become an Employee-Owned practice this year.
We can be the change. Would you like to be part of that exciting journey?
You will be joining Planit at an exciting period having realised our goal to become an Employee-Owned practice last year which provides a great opportunity for all team members to participate in ensuring the long-term legacy for the business.
