On this page we celebrate a collection of architects and landscape designers from 16th century to modern day. From the grandest designs of Sir John Vanbrugh and John Nash to the Parkland and gardens by Capability Brown and Humphrey Repton and the Country Estates by Norman Shaw, Edwin Lutyens, Oliver Hill, Clough Williams-Ellis and Phipps & Milne.
