''What is Landscape''
''We are fascinated by the powerful role that stories play in creating a sense of place, both as a design tool and a way to engage with everyone surrounding a project including clients, consultants, and users, both grown-ups and children.'' StudioWeave
A practice that approaches briefs in a different way to engage not only with the audience of the brief, but with everyone who is involved within a project. They look in to aspects within a place that has unusual, and bizarre characteristics to change that place into something more unique and extraordinary experience.
One of their works that got a lot of compliments is the Longest Bench design- in Littlehampton, the designs inspiration is from an Charm Bracelet. The curvy flowing bench structure continuously travels along the promenade, with loops, running behind bins, with open space for movement. The bench blends in with the surrounding landscape, the bright colours stand out but is not overly exaggerated. It has a fun, exciting appeal complimenting the green spaces, sea, sand.
A other landscape project Studio Weave has completed is the ''Freya and Robin'' project - in Kielder Water, Northumberland. There is a story behind this beautiful structural design, the story approach has inspired them to an design concept.
The two piece structural design is an focal point for visitors to stop and experience the view at the lakeside within the hut.
The structure is made out of wood, which blends in with the surrounding nature, the detailing within the structure allows it to have an more organic twisting branches appearance which blends in and also fits in with the surrounding.

The structural support for both huts are long steel polls.
