PETER GLASS
BL ARCH (UNSW), AILA, RLA, MAIH, MPLA
MANAGING DIRECTOR and PRINCIPAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
Peter Glass has over 30 years of professional experience as a landscape architect, having graduated from the University of NSW with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture.
As Managing Director and Principal Landscape Architect of Peter Glass and Associates, Peter still has very much of a ‘hands on’ role in all aspects of the practice, and particularly the design, horticultural, construction detailing and site inspection plus quality control sides, as well as in liaison with Clients plus provision of expert witness and testimony services.
Peter’s vast experience and his extensive knowledge of the numerous facets of landscape architecture and swimming pool design, combined with his clear and logical manner of thinking and his ‘comfort’ in providing expert testimony, have resulted in his successful assistance with a large range of expert witness matters, extending from the Land and Environment Court right through to the Supreme Court.
Peter has developed particular expertise in the design of swimming pools and water features, both in Australia and overseas. As a result of this expertise, Peter Glass & Associates have designed projects for many overseas Clients, including projects in Italy, the UK, USA, Thailand, Fiji, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Malaysia and China.
Whilst still very much involved in the design of projects, Peter is also responsible for quality control and for ensuring that the company delivers the highest standards of design and service. Peter’s unique style, ability to foresee design opportunities, meticulous attention to detail, construction experience and horticultural knowledge, together with his personal need to always achieve the ultimate design solution, have helped ensure that the name Peter Glass & Associates is synonymous with quality, innovation and professionalism.
