~ OUR ETHOS ~
''nature in design''
is derived out of a deep understanding of our connection to the earth,
& an awareness that all that life has to offer
is dependent on its resources.
WELCOME TO OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STUDIO
IN THE HEART OF EAST ANGLIA​​​
​​East Anglia, is a truly remarkable place with its beautiful beaches, riverine areas & native woodlands
that make up the coastal plains & undulating inland landscapes.
​​​​​​​​​​​Over many years, the natural vegetation has adapted with the topography & local micro-climate.
To the south, the coastline & rolling chalk hills are identified by coastal shingle, heaths & grassland. Further north along the coastline, saltmarshes, sand dunes, fens, marshes & breckland is prominent. Then there are the fens, wetlands & woodlands
that extend more inland. These landscapes typify the dynamic landscapes that make up East Anglia.
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​Historically, natural landscapes have been affected by human activity in the form of farming and development.
This change has been for the benefit of people such as you & I.
As we search for opportunities to provide shelter & food to nourish our bodies with food from crops & livestock,
farmed on the very same soil on which nature is dependent.​
​​​​​​​​​​​​As human populations multiply, the pressure on the natural environment & resources increases too.
Climate & seasonal changes not only affect the ability of farmers to produce, but also may have a profound affect on the inhabitants in nature that often do not have a voice.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The landscape also stores much of the history, culture & essence of this ancient land.
This is evident in castles, abbeys, pavilions, forts, fences, pillboxes & towers among others ...​​​
​​​​​​Consideration of the natural & built environment is recognised as crucial when finding ways for places & spaces to be designed & developed for human use. We seek to contribute to the landscape character of these places & spaces with a researched & experiential understanding that informs design decisions in positive ways.
​​​​​​​​We are delighted to offer services to one of the most beautiful parts of the United Kingdom.
