About
Stemmler Design creates meaningful, thoughtful places through exploring the connections between people, culture and the natural environment. We employ a multidisciplinary approach, interweaving ecology, history and art in designing sustainable places of enduring quality and beauty.
Our work ranges from urban design projects such as light rail systems and public art installations to the design of gardens and memorial spaces. We work collaboratively to ensure we meet the aspirations of the client while effectively addressing the programmatic and technical requirements of the project.
