Tom Flugge

Personal Experience

Thomas recently completed his bachelor’s in landscape architecture at RMIT. Having gained several years’ experience working in both landscape construction and the nursery industry, he has acquired a strong practical appreciation of soft-scape and plant selection.

Through his studies he has demonstrated a flare for communicating atmospheric designs that evoke a strong relationship between the built form and the landscape. Thomas also has a passion for agriculture and he has explored this through town planning studies, community planting schemes and urban park concepts.

Travelling extensively throughout Australia, Asia & Europe, Thomas has experienced a wide range of landscape systems. His mature and carefully considered design approach and clearly presented graphics and technical drawing are key strengths that benefit the Melbourne studio.
