Deer Park Alpha

New Forest, UK: We were asked a week or so ago to go and talk about our approach to design at a conference in the New Forest. The usual last minute ‘oh dear what shall we speak about’ discussion took place. Then, after 10 minutes, a watercolour and a quick flick through the book closest to hand – Dwellings by Paul Oliver – a plan was formulated. The slide show link below is a copy of what we showed. One day we will post it with audio commentary.  We chose not to show our own work, but instead some evocative images around the simplicity, charm and beauty of dwelling and being connected to a place.

Deer Park Alpha is a design, architecture, communciation and innovation firm specialising in translating complex and vast subject areas into engaging and useful formats to enable people to be better informed citizens. We work with private companies, local authorities and public sector organisations to help them demystify what they do to their clients, customers and employees.

An example of this is our recent guidebook to urban design called ‘Where We Live’ which took the enormous subject of urban design and what makes good urban environments and made it accessible to all.

As a team of architects, artists, designers and faciliators, Deer Park Alpha focuses effort into areas that loosely fit within the Built Environment subject area.
