Sudbury Hall, which also houses the National Trust Museum of Childhood, is a late 17th-centuary house with lavish interiors located in Derbyshire. FRLA was invited to help improve the property’s car parking and visitor flow. Through analysis of the car parking area and modelling of the visitor figures, we were able to calculate the peak demand on the car park at different times of the year. Using this, we could demonstrate that, with efficient use of the space and an increase in the percentage of it put over to hard-standing, there was sufficient total area to meet the property’s needs. The second element to this work was to address the visitors’ arrival experience. The location of the car park and the entrances to the attraction, combined with the current ticketing arrangement, meant that the arrival experience was confused. We devised a series of phased changes that would improve the visitor flow and create a true sense of arrival.
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.
