Co-creating beautiful, sustainable, and community-driven landscapes
We know that communities are passionate about the parks and open spaces in their neighbourhoods. We also know that their local knowledge and enthusiasm are crucial to designing spaces that can truly revitalise places and bring people together.
That’s why our Landscape Design Service was founded on the principle of co-creation. We work with communities and other local stakeholders from the very start of the design process, ensuring that their input is incorporated into every stage of the project. This helps to build stronger, more integrated communities that feel a real sense of ownership and affection for the open spaces in their neighbourhoods.
We create multifunctional places that promote health and wellbeing, enhance biodiversity, tackle environmental challenges, support local economies, and reconnect people of all ages with the UK’s valuable open spaces.
Our multidisciplinary team of landscape specialists offer a comprehensive service that can be tailored to meet the needs of the client and community.
Here are some of the benefits of co-creating landscapes:
- Increased community engagement: When communities are involved in the design process, they are more likely to support and use the finished product.
- Better design outcomes: Co-creation allows for a more holistic approach to design, taking into account the needs and interests of all stakeholders.
- Increased sense of ownership: When people feel like they have a stake in something, they are more likely to take care of it.
- Enhanced social cohesion: Co-creation can help to bring people together and build stronger communities.
