Sensory design

Sensory design and materials engages people through all their senses

Creating sensory-rich designs and using techniques like sensory mapping to encourage people to explore the outdoors through all their senses.

Inclusive design

An inclusive park being used by a group having a picnic

Making places inviting and accessible for everyone. We create access reviews and Access Plans and integrate an inclusive approach in all stages of design and build.

Information design

Eden Banners designed by Stuart Spurring demonstrate accessible information design

Making sure your messages and information reach the widest audience. We review existing information or design new materials that are both attractive and accessible.

Age-friendly
places

An age-friendly garden provides opportunity for young and old to spend time together

Designing care environments and public spaces to invite and facilitate enjoyment by older people, and to reconnect people with their local places and communities.

Inclusive
communities

An inclusive community engagement event invites ideas from a diversity of people

Standard consultation often excludes sections of the community. Our creative, accessible techniques engage people who are left out.

Rich visitor
experiences

Group shares ideas on woodland visit to improve visitor experience

Using sensory techniques and visitor experience toolkits to review sites and prioritise improvements to appeal to a wider audience.

Dementia-
friendly places

A community fete as an example of a dementia friendly community activity

Using the outdoors to overcome the isolation faced by people with dementia, their families, friends and carers. We advise on designs, activities and community engagement.

Inclusive
play

Nature-based interactive play

Creating opportunities for people of all ages to be playful, inquisitive and engaged in outdoor spaces. We focus on sensory-rich and nature-based approaches.
