A CHESTER based landscape architect organisation has been selected to design new projects for the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park in the Lake District.

Land Studio has won four new projects to improve the visitor experience at the park.

Formerly the grounds of a Victorian country house, Fell Foot is situated at the southern tip of Lake Windermere. Land Studio’s work will include the design of a more open and accessible series of paths through the park and to the visitor hub at the boathouses on the shores of the lake.

Design work is expected to be completed by the Spring with construction on site taking place later in 2022.

During the pandemic, Land Studio team worked with a number of schools and sixth form colleges across the North West to help them to create safe, vibrant, and immersive spaces outside.

Simon Richards, Land Studio founder and director, who is also a panellist and joint chair of the

Design Commission for Wales, said: “These are four great project wins for the team,

encompassing three of the key sectors we work in – heritage & visitor destination, education, and gardens & residential landscapes.

“In everything we do, we take a sensitive design and engineering approach to our work to help to connect people to nature.”

Land Studio, which celebrates its sixth anniversary this month, is a leading landscape architecture and environmental design studio based in Chester and North Wales.
