Past projects include advice and design consultancy work to the National Trust at Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, Suffolk to improve the visitor centre facilities and experience of the wider landscape at this international recognised and archaeological significant Royal Burial ground.  Large commercial leisure and residential developments, private country estates, the refurbishment of public parks seeking HLF funding and coastal regeneration studies.
