Working with landscape architects Topio and Groundwork
UK we designed benches, tables and
structures for three local playgrounds within
Oxford city.
Feedback from the
council and playground users has been very
positive. From the council's point of view
the benches are easy to install with their
extended legs buried in the ground, are very
robust and are sourced using a local
supplier with timber from a local sawmill.
Users love the simplicity of design and the
feel of real wood.
The picnic table
seats up to eight at the benches and has
room for a wheel chair user at each end.
This dramatic
gateway was specially commissioned by Oxford
City Council for Bury Knowle Park in
Headington. The park has a long association
with C.S. Lewis and so a Narnia Wardrobe
theme was requested. Construction is in
locally sourced English larch. Carving is by
Matt Cave Design and
ourselves.
