FRLA was invited to participate in a competition to design a secular cemetery for a small community. Modern cemeteries are often utilitarian in their design and uninspiring in their use of space. We felt that this doesn’t need to be so and wanted to create a landscape that would say something about the experience of life and death as well as document the inhabitants of the community who have passed away. Our entry draws on the traditional use of mounds in pre-Christian burials. Through a combination of sequential burial along a spiral path and periodic planting of trees, a landscape is created that is constant but will change with time, providing a sense of place within time.

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.
