We specialise in designing within historic places. Our sensitive approach has seen us lead the analysis, design and implementation of a wide range of masterplanning and visitor infrastructure projects for private estates around the country as well as for the National Trust at properties including Lyme Park and Dunham Massey in Cheshire and Aira Force and Fell Foot Park in the Lake District.
In each case, we examine and interpret the layers of history of a site giving careful consideration to the sensitive integration of infrastructure and new uses to facilitate a sustainable future.
Land Studio were commissioned by Bridgend County Borough Council to provide a Green Master Plan for the Cornelly Community Council area to identify opportunities to enhance biodiversity, strengthen existing green infrastructure and provide an evidence based roadmap for nature based interventions across the area.
Chester Racecourse, one of the oldest active tracks in the world, holds significant historic value for Chester, attracting local visitors and tourists throughout the year.
We’re working on a number of projects for the National Trust to improve the capacity for future visitor numbers and to enhance the overall visitor experience through a careful balance of historic layering and the introduction of new infrastructure.
