Landscape Systems is a consultancy and research arm of RBA, dedicated to designing resilient landscapes that connect communities with the natural environment.
“Over the last century, Ireland’s climate is becoming warmer, patterns of precipitation are changing, and sea levels are rising. These changes in our average climate condition are also being reflected in changes in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Projections indicate that changes to Ireland’s climate will continue and intensify, with far reaching consequences for Ireland’s environment, economy, and society.” — Excerpt from the National Climate Change Risk Assessment
Through a collaborative, systems-focused approach, RBA works with communities, agencies, and NGOs to deliver nature-based solutions that create lasting, meaningful impact.
Community-Centred Urban Design
We work with communities to reimagine urban and rural spaces, creating inclusive, adaptable environments that connect people and nature.
Sustainable & Circular Design
We transform existing buildings and design new structures using low-impact, resource-efficient materials and circular construction principles, creating functional, beautiful, and environmentally responsible spaces.
Educational and Participatory Design
We engage schools, universities, and local communities in co-creating spaces, empowering people to shape their built environment.
Resilient Landscape Planning
We integrate ecological strategies into landscapes, promoting biodiversity, climate resilience, and long-term environmental benefits.
