What we do
From urban developments to nature reserves, we work with local authorities, developers and community organisations to revitalise well-loved spaces, bring life to new places and ensure locals can play a part in progress.
Community Engagement
Engagement is the foundation of everything we do.
We design bespoke methodologies to get the right information from the right people, using considered communication and a collaborative approach to build trust in communities.
Our expertise includes:
Stakeholder engagement and workshops
Youth and schools engagement programs
Large-scale public consultation
Place Strategy and Governance
We write strategies designed to be put into action.
Too often we see place strategies, place brands or place plans sit undelivered. We create actionable frameworks, governance models and implementation programs that really work.
Our expertise includes:
Community-led Place Plans
Bringing strategy to life with cross-sector partnerships
Establishing steering and governance groups
We understand that all places are unique so we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. For every project we take time to understand the client, community and place to create a bespoke methodology. Just a few of the tools we use include:
Pop-ups
Workshops
Tactical trials
Open days
Senior Leadership sessions
Interviews and one-on-ones
Digital engagement
We empower locals to shape their own place.
Co-design is the one of the most impactful ways to bring public space to life. Our approach not only results in meaningful design outcomes but simultaneously generates buy-in and civic pride.
Our expertise includes:
Youth and schools co-design
Co-design for built form, activation and place strategy
Improving community cohesion through co-design
