Landscape design rooted in the local history of a Maltese community
The proposed New Toyota Complex on Mdina Road, Żebbuġ, will deliver Grade A office space for knowledge-intensive businesses, complemented by retail and dining, within extensive public open spaces. The landscape design balances the site’s contemporary programme with its local historic and natural character.

Drawing from local history and landscape
Taking inspiration from the site’s deep roots in Żebbuġ, the design translates that local identity into a contemporary public realm. The scheme is fully accessible and designed to serve a wide range of users and age groups, with a varied sequence of spaces offering different types of experience and dwell.
Sustainability and biodiversity
A robust sustainability strategy underpins the landscape proposal, seeking to minimise environmental impact while enhancing the ecological value of the site. The planting strategy prioritises biodiversity, creating a public realm that supports native species and strengthens the natural setting, appropriate to a development that aspires to sit harmoniously within Żebbuġ’s predominantly low-rise urban grain.
