Devon based artist Dr. Alex Murdin, part of the ruralrecreation art group, approached us in 2020 with a proposal to design and build an ‘insect house’ for a new primary school in Cambridgeshire. This was an unusual and highly creative project and our team were excited at the opportunity to work with Alex.
