Gillespies has a long history of working within the Middle East and a proven track record of successfully delivering several large-scale, cross-sector masterplans, public realms and landscapes within the region.

We continue expanding our knowledge of arid countries by applying innovative techniques that address the challenges of extreme climate conditions. With increasing needs for urban expansion and the overexploitation of natural resources, we believe public realm initiatives are critical in helping great cities achieve long term solutions to sustainable growth.

We have a team of skilled landscape architects, who possess a vast knowledge of working and living in the Middle East, and are sensitive to the historical background and local culture and desert ecosystems, the diverse communities and planning regulations.

Our fundamental aim is to work with the regional, cultural and climatic characteristics to make external spaces and cities that are comfortable, welcoming, distinctive and attractive all year round.
