AWARDS
2004 SURF AWARD HIGHLY COMMENDED ROSSHEAD PARK
Alexandria West Dunbartonshire
This project was for the regeneration of a park at Alexandria on the River Leven. Historically there were many textile factories on the river, some specialising in a dye called Turkey Red, which was the inspiration for our bright red poppy planting. The water feature is solar powered from the roof of an adjacent tower block.

2012 SCOTTISH DESIGN AWARD HILLHEAD PRIMARY SCHOOL
Glasgow
WITH JM ARCHITECTS
MHLA created playgrounds and landscaping for four new schools in Glasgow, including the award-winning Hillhead Primary School. The school grounds were designed to stimulate the physical and imaginative senses of the pupils, using copses of woodland, grass mounds, oak block seats: places to hide, run and roll. Outdoor teaching spaces were created to enable teachers to take children outside whenever possible.
