We were delighted to be chosen to present our design idea, The Front Garden City, in response to The Developer journal’s call for ‘Radical Rethink’ submissions, for ideas to improve the design and development of public spaces.
Our project – that seeks to see the front porches, steps and entrance areas of homes becoming inhabitable - was selected. Front porches, decks, steps and entrance areas are generally small areas. But they are a place for people to make their own, and space that can be edited, used, inhabited and a place to form social bonds.
It was a great pleasure to be teamed up with Matter Architects to collaborate and fine tune our proposal, which will be presented at the end of the September as part of the Festival of Place 2020 proceedings.
