Sensory design

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

Inclusive design

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

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

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

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

Rich visitor
experiences

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

play
