The focus was on three primary principles; Wellbeing, Wildlife and Water (linked to Building with Nature), driven by evidence, designed from a system based approach from home to nature.  Our design incorporated play, sustainable drainage, water reuse, shared: mobility, waste/bins and cycle parking. Small scale private gardens were opening out to more extensive communal gardens and spaces—Codesigned with Flavia Goldsworthy and Jen Moreton.
