A lovely project with a great client recently submitted to planning. This one is about celebration of sense of place and integrating materials and shapes from site into the proposals. It is going to be a good one! (JH and ZD) Pic 1: Understanding context . Pic 2: Exploring local and on site materials . Pic 3: Reusing materials from site and weaving into surrounding landform context. . Pic 4: Developing ideas with @loynco … always fun. . Pic 5: Zoomed out masterplan showing context and inspiration. . Pic 6: The repurposed gallop and the house.
Our project in Buckinghamshire with @pad_studiouk has been submitted to planning. (JH ZD) . Pic 1: Responding to site and context: Open landscape to the south with the beautiful convex landform, and enclosed ancient woodland to the north where the building will be tucked into the falling land. . Pic 2: Emerging design exploring sense of arrival (enclosed – open with glimpsed building – enclosed – arrival) and the final masterplan. . Pic 3: The glimpsed arrival. . Pic 4: Model showing the building tucked into the land next to the ancient woodland. The garden spaces will be minimal and naturalistic, with borrowed views of the wonderful ancient woodland. #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture
First planting plan of the year for a lovely little Cornish project. (JM BG) . The house is tucked into the landscape to the north-west and opens up to the south-east making the most of its wonderful rural context. . Pic 1: Pools of naturalistic planting around the entrance and windows helping bed the house into the landscape and celebrate key views from the building. The new bolder garden will be planted with a mixture of drought loving grasses and perennials that tumble down to the bedroom terrace where shade loving ferns and ground cover take over the colonising. . Pic 2: A coastal seed mix will be custom grown for the extensive roofs. The intensive roof gardens will have two characters: the western half will be very naturalistic keying into the extensive green roofs and wider context; the eastern end will be a combination of more ornamental grasses and perennials. @loynco

Our project in North Wales is almost ready for planting. Levels are completed and the final hard landscape puzzle of the driveway is being laid (pic 2). The front will be a mix of wildflower turf with emergent bulbs, clumps of Pine and Sessile oak to frame views. Looking forward to planting in Feb/March 2024. Thank you to Tai Dyfi Homes and GT Davies for working through mostly terrible conditions the past few months. . . #wales #gardendesign #landscape #coastal
