GROSS. MAX., founded in 1995 by directors Bridget Baines and Eelco Hooftman, has an international reputation for its innovative design for public space and landscapes.

Our projects are based on thorough understanding of - and reflection upon – site and context. Our vision is about creating new conditions in which landscape is not an object but a process. We enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration as an active engagement with stakeholders as part of a creative process of project development. The practice has won over 35 (international) competitions for landscape, public space and urban master planning and has an international portfolio of exciting and challenging projects. International we have as lead consultant won prestigious projects such as the transformation of the former Tempelhof Airport into a new public park in Berlin and the design of a linear park in the Central Business District in Beijing. Most recently the practice was part of one of the four teams selected to compete for the reconstruction of the landscape setting of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

In London GROSS. MAX delivered some key public realm project such as Lyric Square, Potters Field Park, Royal Festival Hall, National Theatre, Windrush Square and Olympic Way Wembley Stadium. Larger scale master planning projects include Greenwich Peninsular, White City Campus Imperial College and the Heathrow Expansion. Recent urban master planning projects abroad include Lakeshore Drive in Toronto, the Belvedere master plan in Bordeaux and the central station district in Toulouse.
