Dawn Purves

I am a chartered landscape architect with more than 20 years’ experience of working on complex,  regeneration masterplans, mixed-use residential developments, private gardens and small-scale urban interventions. I like to design low-impact sustainable places that promote better quality of life and resilience, and encourage social interaction.

I’ve worked on a number of projects in and around Cambridge, including the award-winning North West Cambridge. Earlier masterplanning and sustainable community development work includes Cheeseman’s Green and East Stour Village in Ashford; Kingsbrook new settlement in Aylesbury – a multi-million pound garden city extension; and St Botolph’s Quarter public realm strategy and masterplan in Colchester. Most recently, I have been working on inner-city brownfield restoration projects, looking at ways of converting listed building complexes so that they provide sustainable 21^st century residential living.
