HYEM LANDSCAPE / LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Making space for difference.

At Hyem, we are a landscape studio exploring design for difference, material thrift and places that last.

Learning, making and growing together.

BALTIC SPACES FOR NATURE / FARRELL CENTRE

01 / THE STUDIO

Different ways of experiencing the world. More ways to belong.

Hyem means home: the innate emotional connection we have to the landscapes to which we belong.

Founded in 2024, Hyem brings landscape practitioners, educators and researchers together. From our studios in Newcastle and London, we explore how landscapes can offer greater choice, respond to different sensory needs and make more room for human and more-than-human inhabitants.
