Residential Communities We believe design has an important role in the creation of strong, sustainable communities. The creation of safe spaces which allow for regular encounters allow local relationships to develop and help to create a real sense of community. We are experienced in the design of the ‘Home Zone’ type environments. These create pedestrian friendly, walkable neighbourhoods which make door step play for children a real possibility. The considered design of communal parks and play areas, vehicular and pedestrian networks and defensible private space all help to create a pleasant, functioning community. We fully understand the functional requirements of residential communities. We design landscape space so the requirements of various service and delivery vehicles are integrated seamlessly into our final proposal. Where appropriate we would encourage our clients to adopt the ‘Shared Space’ concept, where vehicles and pedestrians share the same paved surface. This, in conjunction with other traffic calming techniques can help to create safe, visually pleasing communities.
