Spaces that draw people in
Whether for new housing developments, campuses or public realm, we design settings where informal conversation, learning and events can happen naturally. External seating and pergolas are a strong fit for new-build housing estates: timber is carefully prepared and treated, and units can be roofed, open-roofed, extended or reduced to suit the space — creating a spacious, welcoming outdoor room that helps new residents meet and use shared landscape confidently.
Where the brief allows, we favour locally sourced and sustainable timbers. This ties directly to our values: community, sustainability and craftsmanship.
Design for connection, not just features
Community hubs work when the layout supports everyday “micro-moments”: conversations that start naturally, seating that invites rest, and shelter that makes outdoor use feel possible in Scottish weather.
Welcoming sightlines
We plan sightlines and movement routes so activity feels safe and inclusive.
Seating and shelter that help routine
Pergolas, natural cover and durable surfaces encourage longer stays and calmer use.
Sustainable detail
Timber detailing, fixing plans and maintenance thinking that support long-term stewardship.
Delivery includes
- Clear interfaces between paving, drainage, structures and landscaping
- Construction staging that keeps access and community movement in mind
