Arcadia has further established its presence in Victoria with the announcement of a new Melbourne Principal, Elly Russell.

Arcadia’s Melbourne studio is excited to welcome Elly Russell to work alongside Nelson Gomes in leading the team working across a diverse range of public and private projects in metropolitan and regional Victoria.  Elly brings over 15 years of high-calibre design experience working across Australia, the United Kingdon and Asia. Her award-winning experience on high profile projects including Sentosa and Brani Masterplan and Monash University’s Caulfield campus with Grant Associates and TCL, and her passion for design and experience leading multi-disciplinary projects will benefit the team as they work on projects at all stages of design and construction.

“I’m excited to join an established Australian landscape architectural practice that is passionate, reflexive, and driven to improve public realm design excellence for our cities and regions,” says Elly Russell, Principal of Arcadia Melbourne.

Arcadia is deeply committed to the expression of Traditional Owner narratives. Having worked internationally and at global practices for some years I look forward to meaningfully reconnecting with Country as we face future environmental challenges together.”
