Sophie Parker-Loftus
Studio Director
I am a Chartered Landscape Architect (CMLI) with over 12 years post qualification experience including 8 years as CMLI. I joined Planit in 2024 as one of their Studio Director's leading a large team of Landscape Architects in the Manchester studio with a remit to Leeds.
During my career, I have led a number of high profile, award winning public realm projects including Kampus, Manchester and Kirkstall, Leeds. I have a broad range of discipline experience spanning concept to delivery, covering masterplanning, residential developments and urban landscapes in the UK and internationally. I have a deep knowledge of horticulture which stems from my early years on my family’s nursery in Suffolk and horticultural training. I enjoy fostering the next generation of talent and have been a visiting lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture.
