A new project is always an exciting time at CAP.Co. They are even more exciting still when the project is one that’s drawn its inspiration so comprehensively from the history of its place. Leeds Castle, as the name would(n’t) suggest is a castle in Kent, England, near the town of Maidstone. It is built on an […]
We recently showed the view of the site and some of the visuals for the planned build of the adventure play at NTS Crathes Castle. It’s a steeply sloping site, which gives us some interesting challenges and opportunities. It’s a new adventure play build in the grounds of the 16th Century Castle. The challenges are […]

Last year we wrote about the work we did at Poringland Primary School in Norfolk. They have a philosophy that ensures their kids don’t just come to school to learn, they come to grow too. Their vision statement is just five words long and makes it all very clear indeed. The vision for our school […]
Paul Travers has joined CAP.Co to strengthen the design and project management team. He’s someone many of us have worked with for quite a few years, being part of the awesomely talented Treehouse Company team, based in Kilmarnock back in 2005.

If you’re not an avid watcher of Cbeebies, then there is a chance you may have missed Justin Fletcher and his ‘Something Special’ team at Culzean Castle Adventure Cove, filming their Super Heroes episode. The programme is all about teaching children to communicate and improve their language skills using a sign language Makaton. This fits […]

He’s building a […]
