We often work on projects alongside architects and construction companies to provide the overall site design and approach. It’s the perfect opportunity to integrate a new building, landscape and sustainable drainage network into the character of its setting. One project saw us working on a new care home being built in North Wales.
We created communal terraced garden spaces for residents to enjoy, used aromatic and colourful planting, considered dementia friendly and sensory garden design and designed gently sloping wheelchair-friendly paths.
The home takes care to the next level and gives all residents the opportunity of lovely and inspiring views while they live out their later years. As well as designing inspiring outside spaces for care homes, our team has designed memorial gardens and beautiful natural burial grounds to allow people to choose a funeral in tune with nature and gentle on the environment.
Marleyfield House is a high demand care home in Flintshire which has planning permission for a 32-bed extension.
The scheme to improve the Buckley care home includes increased usable communal outdoor space and accessibility to support the wellbeing of the residents. As the extension building utilises the land immediately to the south of the existing home, the landscape character takes on a rural context.
The development of the Civic Quarter area of Trafford in Manchester has been a longstanding regeneration priority for Trafford Council with its location providing a prime gateway and a catalyst for the regeneration and renewal for the wider north Trafford area.
We have designed and built a range of community and care projects across the country.
In each site, our approach is to work with nature and the wider landscape character to create naturalistic landscapes for people to immerse themselves within and for nature to thrive.
Our landscape architects worked alongside our ecologists to develop a robust planting scheme for this coastal setting.
Our work for Halen Mon integrated a pop-up restaurant and an outdoor garden, strategically positioned to showcase its spectacular views over the Menai Straits.
We conducted a design study on 13 key car parks along the Pembrokeshire coast, recognizing their crucial role as a visitor’s first encounter with the area. The project aimed to enhance both functionality and sustainability while preserving the diverse habitats supporting native and migratory species.
The five-acre burial ground is owned by the Barnston Estate, an historic family-owned Cheshire estate. They came to Land Studio for advice on how to transform a field into a beautiful natural burial ground to replace the full burial ground at St Chad’s Church in the village.
We completed a scheme with Forestry England on a brand-new visitor welcome centre at Delamere Forest in Cheshire, the county’s largest area of woodland and a popular destination which welcomes over 750,000 visitors a year.
Land Studio have far exceeded expectations. The whole process through brief, design and final execution of the project was very professional.
