The sixth-form quad at Sidcot School has been transformed. New curved planters with integrated seating, resin-bound surfacing, a pergola as a social focal point and an informal games area, all softened with fresh planting. The leftover space has now become somewhere students can enjoy. #Landscaping

"The fires in Glasgow should prompt a UK-wide reckoning about maintenance, funding & what genuine regeneration requires...Briggait, Huntly, Dumfries and Kilmarnock, some of the best evidence anywhere in the UK of how to save these buildings & put them to good use." www.bdonline.co.uk/opinion/scot...

Often the best architecture isn't about the buildings we design it's about the differences we can make. Our colleague Sam is in rural Uganda to help build a new Multi-UseGame Area for RedEarth Village Schools that will give local children a safe place to play, learn&grow. Awesome wrk! Miss you Sam!
