Ed Scobie, Chartered Landscape Architect

Growing up on a fruit farm, Ed’s interest in landscape was established from a young age. It wasn’t until after studying the History of Art, particularly the work of Richard Serra and the land artists that Ed realised his deep interest and fascination with landscape architecture as a meeting point of many different disciplines. After studying for his MA in Landscape Architecture at Greenwich University, Ed joined a large landscape practice, working on projects of all scales, from small local parks to large housing developments, becoming chartered in 2019. A desire to work more closely with the varied and beautiful crafts involved with garden design inspired Ed to join Todd Longstaffe-Gowan in 2021, where he could better indulge his interest in planting design and bespoke projects.

Adam Hoppe, Landscape Architect

While originally from Australia, Adam relocated from the US where he was principal of his own landscape design studio in the New York Metropolitan area for over 10 years. Being solely responsible for all facets of landscape architecture, Adam specialised in construction management and the preparation of detailed design aspects. He considers achieving clarity of expression throughout the entire design and construction process paramount to ensuring successful projects and brings this conviction to the firm. Adam received his BSc in Landscape Architecture from Cook College, Rutgers University in 2001.

Joe Reynolds, Chartered Landscape Architect

Following completion of a BA in film studies with history of art, architecture and design, Joe worked in the film industry for 7 years. Initially involved in production and development, he moved into film landscaping through a desire to connect physically with projects and materials. Over the next 5 years, Joe worked on a wide range of film sets, among them landscapes for the Harry Potter and Marvel franchises and alongside directors such as Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton. In 2012, he was part of a team in charge of realising the opening sequence to the London Olympic Opening Ceremony, which involved recreating the English countryside within the east London stadium. In 2015, Joe completed an MA in landscape architecture at Greenwich University before joining Todd Longstaffe-Gowan to pursue an interest in less transient and more horticulturally focused landscape design.

Elena Fateeva, Chartered Landscape Architect

Elena joined the studio as a landscape architect in January 2019. A seasoned professional, she has worked for more than ten years in the public sector, most recently in transport policy, before attaining her MA in Landscape Architecture from Greenwich University in 2017. Elena’s design mantra is that there is no substitute for putting your hand to paper, and she enjoys both drawing and developing concepts. In her spare time Elena can be spotted on the London folk scene, where her Russian button accordion (aka a bayan) is somewhat of an oddity.
