Landscape has the power to shape the way we live, connect, and experience the places around us.
At APEX Landscape Studio, every project begins with listening—understanding the character of the site, the aspirations of our clients, and the unique opportunities each landscape presents. We believe successful design is not simply about creating beautiful spaces, but about delivering practical, enduring solutions that respond to both people and place.
Founded by Michael Sun in 2025, APEX Landscape Studio is an Auckland-based landscape architecture practice with over a decade of experience across New Zealand and Australia. From bespoke residential gardens and lifestyle properties to multi-unit developments and subdivision landscape planning, our work combines creative design with technical precision.
With extensive experience preparing Resource Consent landscape documentation, detailed construction drawings, and planting design, we understand the complete journey of a project—from concept through to construction. This practical knowledge allows us to design landscapes that are both inspiring and achievable.
Our philosophy is simple: create landscapes that feel effortless, function beautifully, and stand the test of time.
Our Approach
Designed with purpose. Grounded in place.
Every landscape begins with understanding.
We believe successful landscapes are shaped by the unique qualities of a site, the aspirations of our clients, and the relationship between architecture and the surrounding environment. By carefully analysing the site’s context, topography, vegetation, and opportunities, we develop thoughtful design responses that are both practical and enduring.
Each project begins by listening. Understanding our clients’ vision, priorities, and the way they wish to experience their outdoor spaces allows us to establish a clear design direction from the outset. This collaborative process forms the foundation of every successful project.
Our work balances creativity with technical expertise. From early concepts and resource consent documentation through to detailed construction drawings and planting design, we aim to create landscapes that are elegant, functional, and buildable.
Above all, we believe great landscape architecture should feel effortless—enhancing everyday life while creating a lasting connection between people, architecture, and place.
