Samantha Theakstone


Samantha comes from a creative background in Interior Design with over 15 years’ experience in a range of commercial and domestic interiors and has recently retrained as Garden Designer. She brings a wide range of experience with her from working with architects, housing developers and clients, and is looking forward to developing her design skills within the PWP Design team.

Samantha supports on our garden design projects, including design consultations with clients, development of concept designs, presentation work, material specifications and detailed designs for site implementation. Her knowledge of creating inspiring interior spaces has encouraged her to want to extend this to the outdoor room and help clients to extend their home by creating an inviting outdoor space.

Regeneration Case Study: Olive Lane, Waverley

In 2025 we celebrated the opening of Olive Lane, which was delivered by Harworth Group at their flagship Waverley development in Yorkshire. Olive Lane is the ‘heart of the community’ with a vision to join together the Advanced Manufacturing Park and residential development at Waverley, through high quality commercial, community and residential uses. Our public realm and landscape design helps create a vibrant, welcoming, community focused place, featuring the high street, a central plaza and pocket parks. The launch event was attended by over 1,000 Waverley residents, which brought the street to life.

"PWP Design delivered an extensive and inspiring design guide and sketch design, transcending our own expectations of what was possible with our limited budget. Simon Hall's knowledge, enthusiasm and ever-present support has been a breath of fresh air and we are extremely thankful for his contribution to the project."
