Dunkirk Playground, Nottingham

We went to the official opening of a playground we designed in Dunkirk, Nottingham. Plants will continue to grow over the the steel structure to create a big green tunnel, creating a natural environment for children to play, taking the emphasis away from the noise and pollution of the Nottingham flyover which runs over the school grounds. The children and staff are really enjoying their exciting new playground which they use throughout the day and evening for learning and play.

Hornscroft Park Bowling Green, Bolsover, Derbyshire

We were recently one of 3 practices asked to submit design porposals to restore Hornscroft Park Bowling Green. Our design, in collaboration with Landscape Artist Mary Wardle was selected as the winning entry. The historic, but currently derelict, space will be reconfigured within the original footprint to create a new community space in the park for all number of uses from family picnics to professional touring dance, theatre and music events. Pleas click on the pictures to enlarge.
