Sculpture in Letchworth Garden City

Our competition entry for Letchworth Garden City explores many of the interests we have as a practice such as social and play spaces and combines these with community food growing. Our designs are for streets, circuses, crescents, boulevards, and gardens that echo the Garden Cities of the 19th and 20th centuries. We created a neighbourhood where children have the freedom to be outside, explore, meet friends and play.
