Evelyn Court hackney, Erect Architecture

Erect Architecture has been employed to mastermind Great Shelford Playscape. A multi-award-winning practice they are highly experienced in play spaces, notable designs include Tumbling bay play park at the Olympic park and Camden Active Spaces (NHS initiative).

Playfulness and inclusiveness are core values for them, and there is an exciting breadth of design styles and ideas across their work.

We asked Erect Architecture to generate a master plan for the whole site, from car park to river, to make the rec work harder for everyone.

The landscape-designed, inclusive scheme includes new play equipment, planting, riverside walks, and better “wheels” provision (think bikes and scooters), whilst also establishing a structure that improves access and storage and makes the rec feel cherished for what it really is – a precious outdoor resource in the heart of our village.
