Communities
We design environments that support overall wellbeing, health and activity. We design for the needs of communities. Appealing living and working environments are far-reaching investments. We develop functionally diverse and beautiful outdoor spaces that delight the users. We bring customers into the design process through a collaborative approach. We conduct workshops, experiential field days and interviews.
Outdoor learning environments are one of our areas of expertise. The quality of the outdoor space has a significant impact on people´s physical activity and health. We design playgrounds, sports environments, yards, parks, and different kinds of spaces that support the identity. We want to do our best for communities to do well.
