High-quality exemplary design and sustainable living in urban areas should be a viable option for everyone, not just the wealthy. We believe this is a critical part of a healthy society and our collective future. Positive environmental and social change needs to happen locally and spread globally. This is one of the key reasons why we are so passionate about the contribution our team can make to all the projects we are involved with.
We have been designing and placemaking in the public realm since 1984. Our on-going dedication and belief in innovation and designing unique places that are embedded in their locality, has been honoured with a plethora of national and international design awards.
We are passionate about inclusivity and creating cherished places with meaning and cultural depth. This cannot be achieved alone, so collaborating with people and developing shared positive outcomes is what drives us and is at the heart of our mission to improve the environment that we all share.
Many of our projects over the last 10 years have been in historically sensitive locations, including a World Heritage Site and numerous protected Conservation Areas. Even in these areas we believe that innovative and sensitive contemporary design is essential.
In response to the growing climate emergency, we have been working closely with Universities and the Mersey Forest charity to gather metrics on carbon and pollution capture, net biodiversity gain, habitat creation, flood mitigation and design for improvements in well-being and mental health for all. In short, our landscape is working much harder to maximise the benefits to everyone and the planet.
