Deer Park Alpha

Portsmouth, UK:

We started this morning putting up the signs for The Route project. Thanks to Portsmouth City Council (Jayne Rodgers especially)  for sponsoring the production and fitting. More on the signs to follow later.

The Route links communities by connecting existing streets along a 5KM north-south section of Portsmouth, UK. It is a proposal we developed ourselves last year and have promoted across the city. This is the first stage in the realisation of the project. We now plan to design, visualise and make changes to sections of the streets along the Route so that they become people, not just car, friendly.

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.
