Projects

We believe in a creating connection to nature, developing design which is sensitive to landscape and which fits with site, setting and sense of place. Design in a rural setting can contrast and surprise, grow seamlessly from its surroundings, or simply seek to enhance the essential qualities of the landscape. We undertake a wide range of design solutions from small viewpoints, gardens and school grounds to masterplanning for new holiday cabins sites and large-scale woodland design. We have a particular interest in seeking solutions which allow inclusivity for all and always strive to weave accessibility into rural projects, to open up natural places to all users wherever possible.
