The Landscape Futures Project

An independent research initiative by Charmonye analyzing the future of outdoor spaces. Our 2025 focus begins with a definitive deep dive into the GCC, one of the world's most dynamic and demanding markets.

Understanding Universal Principles in a Dynamic World

To understand the future of landscape architecture, one must study its most ambitious markets. The GCC, with its visionary projects and unique climatic challenges, serves as a powerful barometer for emerging global trends in design, technology, and sustainability.

Our research starts in the GCC, but our perspective is global. We are building a strategic resource for industry leaders everywhere.

The Research Roadmap

We are building our intelligence layer by layer, starting with two foundational reports for 2025.
