Node

Node is a design consultancy combining urban design, landscape architecture and heritage consultancy. It has offices in Birmingham, Leicester and London. Its projects range in scale from individual streets and public squares up to whole neighbourhoods and city areas. The practice uses its heritage expertise alongside its design work so that historic character informs proposals for change. Ideas are presented through hand-drawn illustrations, graphics, technical drawings and models. The team works with local communities as well as clients to test whether schemes are viable and can be delivered. Node states that it operates as a carbon neutral company. It suits developers, councils and design teams needing heritage input on schemes that involve the public realm or the setting of historic places.
