TGP were commissioned to carry out the landscape design for a new residential unit for adults with learning disabilities, at the Camphill Village Trust facility at Larchfield near Middlesbrough.
Liaison was carried out with Niven Architects as lead consultants and on a one to one level with clients and their families to fully understand their needs and requirements during the development of the landscape proposals.
