We are driven by creating
feel good places
We were formed in 2005 to bring together planning, landscape architecture and architecture
(via urban design).
Our goal is to ensure that our advice, effort and ideas are implemented. This means that our approach is based on striking a successful balance between ideas and fresh thinking and making a strong business case. Our history of consistent project delivery proves that our approach works. The fact that we have many trusted and longstanding client relationships suggest that our clients think so too.
We passionately believe that what we do matters. We are motivated by making a positive and real difference, seeing our ideas, our advice, and our efforts come to life, and to have a positive impact on people and the environment.
What Motivates Us
We are motivated by making a positive and real difference, seeing our ideas, our advice and our effort come to life and to have a positive impact on people and the environment. Making plans is the easy part, getting it delivered properly is the really important part.
This is what makes our team tick:
Residential Places
There are not enough homes for people to live in and we want to make quality places not just build lots of homes
Environments
There is a greater focus than ever on the quality of our environment. Whether this be in cities, towns, neighbourhoods, our streets or our homes. Not enough people know how to achieve good quality places and we have an important role to play.
Climate Change
Shifts in our climate and ecosystems have begun to impact on day to day life and there is so much to be done to overcome the challenges posed by changes to our climate and ecosystems. The statutory planning system has a role in delivering policy and the landscape and urban design process can implement new ideas and ways of mitigating impact. We have a role to play in mitigating against, rather than contributing to, climate change.
Caused by Digitisation
Digital life has affected attitudes to property transport places and commerce and has increased the importance of real life interaction especially being outdoors. Our skills are required to help manage the changes brought about by this seismic shift.
and Health Environments
Too many children are educated in old poor quality schools and grow up in substandard environments. People are treated in poor quality hospitals. Slowly, gradually, we want to contribute to better education and health environments.
and Places
There are communities and places that have been left behind and which need to be revitalised. We want to help work with these people and places to be revitalised.
we Travel
We need to help transform our infrastructure to make it people focused so that people enjoy using walking, cycling and public transport more than they do their cars.
of Development
We want to maximise the wider positive impacts of development and minimise the negatives in terms of well̐being and the environment.
We are an Employee Owned company. Our team is made up of urban designers, landscape architects, planners and architects. We are a growing business, with big plans, and where everyone can make their presence felt.
