Tessa Rose Playspace and Landscape Design specialises in:
- Natural playspace design for all children’s services including child care centres, preschools, outside school hours care centres, family day care services, school settings and public spaces.
- Universally accessible design for all playspaces
Design Process
All designs commence with a consultation. This involves a meeting to discuss your outdoor space requirements, ideas, soils, plants and budget and to gain an understanding of the space in its current state. Consultations are generally on-site, however, for services in country regions and/or remote areas, we offer face-to-face consultations via Skype (contact us for details).
Following the consultation you will receive a design brief detailing your design inclusions and a Proposal/Contract for the preparation of the design.
