This has overall been a really good year for the firm. I am guarded in my language as we are very much a \u2018people practice\u2019 and I know there are those in the firm who have some difficult things to contend with in their own lives at the moment and in my own case it was losing my mother a year ago today as I write this. She was from a wartime generation with collective values that she could see we strive to represent at terra firma; it is not said lightly when we speak of our colleagues as family. I am fortunate to be surrounded by an extraordinary team here and it is very much appreciated \u2013 none of our work would be possible without them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we have seen the departure of Niall but the arrival of Dan (late-2018) and Leo (Spring 2019), and Isla\u2019s departure (albeit temporary) for the arrival of Ezra! Both Alex and Gill completed their Pathway to Chartership and passed the final examination to become Chartered Members of the Landscape Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We joined in the celebration of the Landscape Institute\u2019s 90th<\/sup> birthday on the day itself at its birthplace with a photo-bomb<\/em> opportunity with current LI President, Adam White, and his business partner, Andr\u00e9e Davies, in their garden at RHS Chelsea in May, and then by sponsoring the LI90 Festival of Ideas<\/a> at the Olympic Park in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have appeared in the landscape press on numerous occasions, including profiles in FutureArc<\/a><\/em> (above top) early in the year and Pro Landscaper<\/a><\/em> last month \u2013 as well as being featured in the premier issue of Landscape: The International Issue<\/a><\/em> (above). We were outright winners in two of the five highly coveted Local Government News Street Design Awards in April (great news on my 60th<\/sup> birthday while in Costa Rica) \u2013 apparently the only firm to do so in the same year throughout the awards history \u2013 with the Woking Muslim War Cemetery Peace Garden<\/a> winning the \u2018Urban Green Space\u2019 category and the Brighton i360 Golden Spiral Plaza<\/a> winning \u2018Public Lighting\u2019. We also were members of teams that received Highly Commended in the New Forest National Park Design Awards for Brockenhurst College and no less than four of the newly initiated South Downs National Park Design awards, with Timberyard Lane, Lewes; Alice Holt Visitor Centre; Gilbert White Museum, Selborne; and Buckmore Studios, Petersfield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of my own Brexit concerns, the workload has continued to increase, and we saw another year of record activity and turnover. If anything, we have been striving to contain it, sometimes outsourcing to our other offices, utilising our subconsultants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been kept busy at all scales, from assisting the masterplans of new developments such as those illustrated below at Harwich and Fernhurst, both currently in planning; strategic policy documents such as Landscape Character Assessments and Capacity Studies for Test Valley, East Hants and Chichester; EIA inputs for major infrastructure projects such as Gibraltar\u2019s Sewage and Water Treatment Plant; continuing term consultancies for the South Downs National Park Authority, NATS, Churchill Retirement Living and McCarthy and Stone; heritage projects such as Hinton Ampner, The Vyne and Osterley Park for the National Trust, Brookwood Cemetery for Woking BC and The Wilderness and Ham Manor House with Jeremy Rye; healthcare with Brighton and Bournemouth and Poole hospitals; numerous developments for healthcare and the elderly; and the biggest sectors, residential and education, with an enormous variety of schemes throughout the country. High profile clients include the All England Lawn Tennis Club at Wimbledon and Goodwood, for whom we are engaged with in exciting new projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

tf-LAB London<\/strong> has continued with its work in China and Cyprus headed up by Jamie and various London private garden and public realm interventions with him and Alison variously leading. Nigel is now primarily engaged heading up the design courses at Capel Manor following completion of Brompton Cemetery for Royal Parks. Steve has been keeping busy with his own projects in the north-west but also has a large one that\u2019s been bubbling under in the Scottish Highlands that we very much hope comes to fruition for us all next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having just returned from Lebanon, a country that has played a large part in my life since I first went there for a 3 month spell at the beginning of the Millennium, I am reminded that we are very close to being 20 years on from that landmark date. Although terra firma had undertaken work overseas previous to this (mainly in the USA in the late 80s), it really marked the beginning of the firm\u2019s international agenda. In a way, this brings us back to the beginning of the year when we spoke about the wider reach of the landscape profession in Landscape magazine and with the growing public movement to combat climate change, the LI\u2019s declaration of Climate Emergency and David Attenborough\u2019s rousing speech at the LI Awards. We may finally be seeing serious shifts in public opinion coinciding with the profession\u2019s most ambitious remit; to do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s hope 2020 builds on this. Wishing you all a very happy festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
