Whole-property land clarity for acreage owners creating beautiful, functional and nature-rich properties that endure.






Is This You?
Lose Cohesion
Individual decisions gradually erode the cohesion of the property you imagined.
Spend Money Twice
Making decisions in the wrong sequence often leads to expensive rework.
Without a whole-property masterplan, it's easy to:

Feel Overwhelmed
Wondering where to begin, who to engage and what should happen first.


We know what it's like to live on land and not know where to begin.
Over the years we've lived on acreage, learned from some of the worlds great gardens and helped more than 100 landholders design their properties.
One thing became increasingly clear:
People don't need more information, they need clarity
That's why we created The Complete Masterplan
Introducing:
Prioritise the work so you know what to do now, what can wait and where to invest over time
Bring the house, landscape, ecology and everyday experience into a masterplan
Your lifestyle, property, architecture, ecology opportunities & constraints

A clear vision
Know what your property can become before investing significant time or money.
Bring the home, landscape, ecology and everyday experience into one cohesive vision.
Know who to engage, when to engage them and how every decision contributes to the bigger picture.
Know what to do now, what can wait and where to invest over time.
Every decision made contributes to one cohesive landscape that grows more beautiful over time.




We take on 10 Complete Masterplans per year working with aligned landholders. Where we see ourselves as part of the team and committed to achieving excellence.

Ready to Begin?
Together we'll walk the property, listen to the land and begin shaping the masterplan from first-hand understanding
Upon engagement, we'll meet for a Vision Workshop to understand your property, your lifestyle and hear what you're hoping to create.
Schedule a 15-minute conversation to discuss your property, ask questions and see whether we're the right fit for each other.

Liff Studio is led by Thomas Gooch, a Landscape Architect with over two decades of experience.
Thomas uses Landscape Architecture, systems thinking and entrepreneurship to help people make better decisions about land.
Over the past 20+ years he has worked across civic, public and residential projects, from high-end residential landscapes across South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers through to Melbourne's Greenline redevelopment for the City of Melbourne and internationally.
He previously founded the environmental intelligence startup Office of Planetary Observations and co-authored the Declaration of the Rights of the Moon — exploring how landscape practice can better bridge planetary systems, living ecologies and constructed outcomes.
Today his work focuses on helping landholders navigate complexity, identify opportunities and create beautiful, functional and regenerative landscapes.
His passion is exploring how practice can work across scales — from gardens to biospheres — while remaining grounded in place, craft and human experience.
We value alignment over scale and depth over speed, pursuing beauty in all we do.
We recognise the traditional owners of the land where we work, their elders past and present and their relationship with the landscape.
We recognise the Earth’s right to exist in its integrity, with all planetary boundaries intact and healthy so that all life on Earth can be sustained.
