Chrysi Gousiou
Principal Consultant

I am an architect and landscape architect with six years’ international experience in public realm and urban development.
Before joining LDA Design, I worked with landscape and planning practices in Barcelona, Paris and Geneva. This gave me a broad understanding of different design approaches. I was involved in public realm projects from concept design to construction, and in strategic masterplanning, working with people, organisations and communities to create inviting public realm.
I joined LDA Design in 2019, and am working on the IDRM Research Campus in Oxford and a sustainable urban extension for Rushden.
In my spare time I love exploring the countryside, enjoying the company of friends and family and travelling around the world.
