Our Team
Charlotte Rowe and her small team are based in a studio in West London but we work on design projects further afield including the rest of the UK and overseas. The team comes from a range of backgrounds including landscape design, landscape architecture, architecture and horticulture.
Charlotte Rowe MSGD
Charlotte Rowe established her studio in West London in 2004 and since then has designed more than 250 gardens, terraces and landscapes in London, the UK and overseas. Originally an art historian, she worked for many years in marketing and communications before gaining a post-graduate diploma in Residential Landscape and Garden Architecture.
Her earlier career in professional consultancy gives her an understanding of the importance of working closely with clients and has helped her to establish a professional approach to garden design consultancy.
Charlotte won a Gold medal at the 2014 RHS Chelsea Flower Show for her show garden, ‘No Man’s Land’, which marked the centenary of the outbreak of World War One. She has also won a number of industry awards.
Charlotte regularly speaks on landscape design around the world. She is supported by a small team with backgrounds in landscape architecture, horticulture and garden design.
Charlotte Rowe is a fully accredited member of the Society of Garden Designers and Charlotte Rowe Garden Design is an SGD practice member.
Tomoko Kawauchi MSGD
Tomoko Kawauchi gained a degree in architecture from the University of Shiga Prefecture in Japan before moving to the UK to study for a National Diploma in Horticulture at Writtle College in 2005.
She joined Charlotte Rowe Garden Design as a Project Designer in 2006 and worked closely with Charlotte Rowe on a range of designs for seven years before joining another prestigious London design studio. She rejoined Charlotte Rowe in 2018 as Design Director and brings to the studio her wide experience of design projects in the UK and overseas including private projects, public spaces and RHS show gardens.
Tomoko became a fully accredited member of the Society of Garden Designers early in 2022. She is thought to be the first ever Japanese member of the Society.
