Landscape conservation & restoration

Working with historic landscapes - parks and gardens, churchyards and cemeteries - is immensely satisfying on both an intellectual and emotional level. It demands a wide range of skills, from the ability to research the development of a landscape, to identifying the physical clues which remain from the traces of the past, and often most importantly, assessing the significance of what remains so as to pinpoint where it might be appropriate for new and contemporary 'interventions' to occur.

At St. Leonards Churchyard in Streatham, south London, we raised £50,000 from a range of charitable trusts for this Georgian churchyard which had become the focus of anti-social behaviour, creating an attractive space which was safe to use for all the community.

The practice is able to assist with the preparation of Conservation Management Plans; funding submissions; and the implementation of new design which is appropriate to and which respects the historic setting.
