Simon Prunty
Partner

As a Partner with Hoerr Schaudt, Simon is known for his ability to conceptualize and detail creative, practical solutions to the firm’s more challenging design efforts. Over the past 20 years, his expertise and guidance have been critical to the success of many of Hoerr Schaudt’s high-profile projects. A proponent of honest, long-lasting, and detail-focused design, Simon is known for his original and elegant design concepts. Landscape’s volatile nature enchants him — he loves designing a project, building it, and watching it grow, knowing full well that it will never stay the same, and believing it is more beautiful because of that.

As the lead designer on high-profile projects, Simon provides quick problem-solving capabilities to all studios within the firm. He is valued for his ability to both conceptualize and detail practical, creative solutions to some of the firm’s more challenging design problems. Since he joined the firm more than twenty years ago, Simon’s design leadership has been critical to the success of projects at Hoerr Schaudt for mixed-use, cultural, residential, and corporate clients.

Simon has a unique perspective at Hoerr Schaudt, as he has been able to work across many of our various teams, from intimate residential gardens to large-scale commercial, civic, institutional, and mixed-use developments. He also leads all design and innovation initiatives across the firm.

If his accent doesn’t tip you off, Simon heralds from the land of stunning gardens, the Union Jack, and 4 o’clock tea. He credits his avid and early interest in golf with introducing him to landscape architecture.
