This concept for a park and memorial to those that died on Flight MH17 was developed before the competition site was relocated to an artificial island and therefore was not submitted. The full board can be downloaded as a pdf here. The design was guided by three aims; firstly, to create a fitting memorial; secondly, to provide a space that incorporates recreational facilities for the surrounding population and, thirdly, to deal with the waste material, from the buildings on the site that were to be demolished, in a financially and environmentally sustainable way. The primary avenue on the site runs from the visitor centre up a large mound (built from waste rubble capped in soil). On the anniversary of the incident, the sun sets at the end of the this avenue marking the start of a procession that takes friends and family of the victims on a circular route to the Memorial Meadow, with its light sculpture, and then back to the visitor centre.
It's great to see the garden FRLA designed for Boschendal generating good publicity for the client. A well designed landscape can not only improve the quality of the visitor experience but also raise the profile of an organisation.

Concept images developed as part of the master-planning FRLA undertook for a South African Winery. The aim was to design a garden that showcased the farm-to-plate ethos of the estate, its intrinsic links with the surrounding landscape and its heritage.

This bespoke gate was designed by FRLA @frla_ltd for the Woodland Trust's Tring Park @woodlandtrust site as part of a project to create a new car park and arrival space. The form takes inspiration from the wooded hillside that is a prominent feature in the landscape. Handspring-design @handspring_design have done a great job with the fabrication.
