Inclusive spaces and playgrounds
Bring access, choice and participation into the way a space is planned.
We advise on new designs, refurbishments and existing environments, including community spaces, learning settings, playgrounds and recreation areas.
Consider the whole journey
We look at how people approach the space, find their way, access activities, communicate, spend time with others and take a break.
Depending on the setting, this can include layout, lighting, sound, seating, shade, sensory choices, signs and nearby facilities.Meaningful play and participation
An inclusive playground offers more than one accessible activity.
We consider different interests, ages and ways of moving, sensing and playing, including opportunities for shared experiences and individual choice.Support for your project team
Agreed outputs may include:
A functional brief.
Feedback on concepts or selected plans.
Recommendations for an existing space.
Consultation findings.
Communication board recommendations.
A prioritised inclusion action plan.Working with technical specialists
We contribute inclusion advice alongside the relevant design and technical professionals.
Building compliance, engineering, equipment assessment and playground safety certification require their own qualified specialists and agreed scopes.
Start early or review what exists
You can involve us at concept stage or ask us to review an existing environment.
Tell us about the space, its users and the decisions ahead.
