YMCA
SENSORY GARDEN
Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham | Community & Wellbeing | Design and Build
Shropshire Studios was appointed to design and build a sensory garden for YMCA Sutton Coldfield, creating an inclusive, engaging outdoor environment that supports wellbeing, learning and play.
The proposal transforms an underutilised external area into a purposeful sensory landscape — designed to stimulate sight, sound, touch and movement, while providing a safe, welcoming space for children, young people and the wider community.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
PROJECT DETAILS

The YMCA required a garden that could support a range of users and activities — from quiet reflection and sensory engagement to group interaction and outdoor learning. The design needed to feel playful yet calm, inclusive yet structured, and robust enough for year‑round use.
Accessibility, safety and community value were central to the brief.
