Canopy is excited to welcome a new team member to our Christchurch office! Award winning Landscape Architect Paul Roper-Gee has joined the team bringing with him 16 years of experience in garden, streetscape and urban design.
Paul won ‘Best in Show’ – the Supreme Award at the Christchurch based Ellerslie International Flower Show in 2012 for his garden ‘Max’s Pipe Dream’. Other recent project work of Paul’s includes the redevelopment of Port Vila’s central waterfront in Vanuatu, Christchurch Coastal Pathway and Beach Road streetscape in Auckland’s CBD.
Paul gets his kicks from creating comfortable spaces for people to live, work and play in and is inspired by natural landscapes and the everyday urban environment in his design. He enjoys working collaboratively with clients, stakeholders and other design disciplines to see a project develop from early ideas through to implementation. Outside of work you’ll find him busy in his home garden, enjoying time with family, or attempting to bowl leg spin in his social cricket team.
Paul is enthusiastic about joining the Canopy team and looking forward to working with clients on their residential and commercial design projects. You can get in touch with Paul on 021 447 191 or paul@canopy.co.nz
