We worked with Carillion Construction Services on the planning, detail design and construction phases of this small but high quality phase of the King’s Cross public realm development. The building, previously known as ‘Regeneration House’ was designed by Lewis Cubitt in 1850 and was initially conceived as the nerve-centre of the original King’s Cross Goods Yard.

We were appointed to work with Carillion Construction Services on the detail design and construction phase of the Tapper Walk stage of the King’s Cross Masterplan which was completed in summer 2014.

Tapper Walk is an important connection from York Way into the King’s Cross development leading to Cubitt Park with level access and a tree lined entrance into the park.

High quality York Stone, tactile timber benches and semi- mature London Plane trees comprise the landscape palette with reclaimed granite setts used above the linear tree pits. Clusters of cycle stands define the tree pits and the broad walk providing a great vantage point over the extensive Cubitt Park. 18 20 21 King’s Cross (Temporary): Q Zone

Working on Zone Q, the third stage of the Masterplan Project, we have designed a new temporary urban recreation park and important piece of public realm connecting York Way with York Street.

This area radically transforms a largely vacant zone of hard- standing to create an active landscape over its ‘meanwhile’ lifespan as a valuable amenity for local residents and workers. It also provides a more attractive setting for emerging buildings such as the contemporary Rubicon Court. The recreation area comprises a multi-use games area (MUGA), a flexible recreation space, a new access point into the site from York Way and the integration of this public realm with the innovative and ground breaking Skip Garden to the south.

This new public realm fits into the existing and emerging landscape with an early provision of flexible recreation space, a rolling programme of art, education and play resource catering for future residents of Kings Cross and for the wider community. 22

In November 2012 the University of the West of England submitted to South Gloucestershire Council an outline planning application for a Masterplan to transform UWE’s Frenchay Campus.

This outline Masterplan sets the aspirations for the Heart Zone within which the UWE SU is the first part of a phased regeneration of the area. It is intended that the heart of the campus should contain ‘exceptional quality spaces’ with a ‘strong, legible and permeable one campus solution’.

We led the public realm design for this large scale phased campus renaissance upto technical design and Employers Requirements stage with the Student Union due for completion later in 2015. The high quality landscape comprises a transitional series of spaces from wildflower fringes to a more urban heart zone with dynamic paving, lighting and bands of biodiversity rich planting.

As part of the required scope of services we used REVIT to create a combined BIM model for all elements of the hard and soft landscape as part of a co-ordinated building model.

This was our first BIM project in 2012 but we have since developed our capabilities with the innovative Newcastle Urban Sciences project amongst other schemes in the studio. University of the West of England: Students Union 52 53 Bob Champion Building UEA

Client: University of East Anglia Awards: Architects: Hawkins\Brown RIBA East Regional Award 2015 - Shortlist Landscape Budget: £350,000 Status: Completed February 2015

The Bob Champion Research and Education Building opened on the Norwich Research Park in February 2015.

The £19m building is managed by UEA in partnership with the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and provides state of the art laboratories for their research teams to undertake world class research. The groundbreaking medical research centre is named after former Grand National winning jockey, Bob Champion MBE.

The landscape design strategy for the Norwich Medical Research Building looks to create a rich and relevant landscape that provides a stimulating environment for the students, teaching staff and visitors to the site and one that respects the needs and aspirations of the wider masterplan.

Inspired by the proposed use of the building for medical research and teaching we believe that the landscape offers an opportunity for this use to spread beyond the building footprint into the south facing courtyard space with strong links to medicinal planting, healing gardens and with an arrangement drawn from arable field patterns.

At the same time this gateway landscape needs to act as the marker for the public realm development of the wider research park and should be generous and flexible with © Gareth Gardener potential for strong connections to the future phases. 54 55

“Our work with B|D Landscape has been fully integrated with a desire to create places with personality and purpose that are well made, well used and well loved. We seek to carefully ground a building with a seamless transition between inside and out, and to consider place making at the heart of any design approach. Hawkins\Brown and B|D Landscape have collaborated on numerous successful projects over the past 5 years and we look forward to this approach continuing on future projects.”

We were appointed in 2011 to develop the landscape masterplan for the Spirax Sarco Headquarters at Charlton House in Cheltenham.

The project for this leading British manufacturing company looked to enhance and upgrade the pedestrian routes through the site with a new footbridge connection over the River Chelt and the enhanced high quality public realm to the main entrance, Summerhouse Bistro, Training Centre and Car Park.

The Masterplan successfully achieved planning consent in 2011 and completed on site in February 2012 with the first phase completed in 2012.

We have recently completed the second phase of the development for the international head quarters with Britannia Construction - enhancing the main entrance to the campus from Cirencester Road.

Instant hedging combined with semi-mature tree planting (upto 10m height) and seasonal bulb planting has created a beautiful and biodiverse landscape on the banks of the River Chelt.

“The site refurbishment is very much about sending a strong message to the many visitors that will visit Charlton House that we are a modern, vibrant, successful company that values its people and its customers.”

In collaboration with Kay Elliott architects we have been working on the landscape design for the new velopark that integrates it into the Clennon Valley wildlife corridor with ecological enhancement and water sensitive design to create a hardworking and beautiful landscape.

The Velopark project was jointly funded by Torbay Council and British Cycling and had overwhelming public support as the only outdoor closed road circuit in Devon and Cornwall. The facility accommodates amateur and professional cycling and a range of other sporting activities including athletics, jogging, nordic walking, in line skating. The Park offers a dog- free activity area that includes changing and toilet facilities, bike and helmet hire, bike storage, an office and a rest area.

The landscape integration of this significant facility is important given the sensitive landscape setting and our design proposals include strengthening the Clennon Valley wildlife corridor and using water sensitive design principles for habitat enhancement and flood mitigation measures.

“This regional centre for cycling is a great addition to Torbay’s sporting infrastructure, and really puts us on the map for cycling development as well as creating an exciting new facility for visitors and residents of Torbay.”

Client: London Borough of Hackney Architects: Hawkins\Brown Landscape Budget: Confidential Status: Tender

An important proposal for us was the inner city development potential at King Edward’s Road in Hackney. The plans will transform a redundant brownfield site into a mixed tenure residential development with a beautiful and hardworking amenity courtyard and dynamic shared space public realm.

Rain gardens within the urban landscape will collect and attenuate surface water and form a defensible edge to new residential units, planted with a variety of species to soften and enhance the visual amenity of the area.

A grove of Lime trees at the heart of the development will create a central courtyard space for residents with picnic benches, incidental play pieces for young children and a permeable surface for playing boules or similar free play opportunities as well as a useful water storage volume below ground to collect surface water.

The semi-mature tree planting will include a specimen 10m tall Tulip tree, fruiting and flowering trees to gardens and climbing green walls to act as boundaries with raised planting beds to allow productive planting by the residents.

Timber fin fencing gives the private gardens that look into the courtyard visual permeability and at 1.5m high, they will provide an opportunity for neighbours to ‘talk over the garden fence’. 76 77 Victoria Square

From the start of the project in 2009, we have worked closely with the local community and key stakeholders - Mill Lane Open Space Action Group, Camden Parks Department and Emmanuel Primary School on the development of the Mill Lane Open Space Playscape.

The brief for the Mill Lane Open Space Playscape was to regenerate a tired and under used play space set within a green oasis of public open space including an area of local importance for nature conservation and a number of mature trees.

Throughout the project’s evolution, it has been our aim to initiate regular workshops and engagement sessions with the Mill Lane Open Space Action Group and Emmanuel Primary School to create a natural play area that adds to the character of the site enhancing biodiversity and forms an original and distinctive playscape. 90 91 Hilden Grange School

We collaborated with Hawkins\Brown, Max Fordham, HOP & Northcroft to deliver the first phase of the City of London © Tim Crocker Freemen’s School redevelopment in Ashtead Park, Surrey.

We completed an extensive enabling work package at the school over the summer of 2012 that included an extended woodland car park, a junior school adventure play trail, an ECB approved cricket practice area, an enhanced MUGA and extended all weather hockey pitch set in a Registered Park and sensitive landscape setting.

During the latter half of 2012 to mid-2014 we undertook the landscape design through to completion for the landscape around the school’s new Boarding House and Music Block buildings which involved hard and soft landscape works including a sloping courtyard area linking the two buildings. The project brought about a challenge of building adjacent to existing TPO trees on a multi levelled area of the school grounds.

Since the end of 2014 we have been working on the landscape design around the school’s proposed new swimming pool building which is carefully located within an area of woodland to minimise its visual impact from elsewhere within the surrounding school landscape. In tandem with the work for the new swimming pool, we have been producing landscape proposals for creating a new soft landscape area over the © Tim Crocker site of the former swimming pool.

Chaumont Festival Des Jardins 102 103 Chaumont Festival des Jardins

Client: Chaumont Festival des Jardins Landscape Budget: £0.01 million Status: Competition Entry

Every year since 1992, the gardens of Chateau Chaumont sur-Loire host an annual ‘Festival des Jardins’. These gardens are created by different landscape architects, designers and artists around a theme, which changes every year.

Our entry to the 2010 competition was inspired by the human form through history. The garden’s strong design feature is a sinuous Corten steel walkway that guides and educates visitors about the relationship between people and plants. Surrounding the Corten walkway are a series of mounded ripples of flowering medicinal plants that have been used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years and proven to have a positive impact on human health.

Misting nozzles were located within the mounded planting to periodically provide cool and disorientating fine spray to the garden. This in turn irrigates the plants and brings forward the patination of the oxidising steel, accelerating the natural processes. A grove of umbrella head ginkgo trees will provide dappled shade. 104 105 Royal Docks: Albert Island

Client: RIBA Status: Competition Entry

We have taken part in the RIBA Imagine Bath competition which will result in an exhibition bringing creative ideas together for review by the city’s decision makers. Our entry focusses on an interesting vision for the city’s public space called Bath Parklets. Parklets are a unique concept, offering a place to stop, sit, rest, socialise, eat, grow, recharge, simply a spot to people watch and for nature to thrive in the city landscape.

The Parklets are small parks reclaimed from all the public realm that has been given over to cars. They reclaim the road for pedestrians to form an extension of the pavement to provide amenities and green space for the local community, visitors and adjacent businesses.

A Parklet can be as small as a single parking space and depending on the individual size seek to provide much needed public amenities like seats, tables, bike racks and charging points.

The injection of green space will also add to the beauty and diversity of Bath with productive planting and seasonal fruiting and flowering trees, bird nesting boxes and rain gardens that will extend green infrastructure through linear Parklets. We have proposed three sets of Parklets are introduced to Walcott Street in Bath. The idea is adaptable and modular so could be applied any pavement or parking area. 108 109 The Slug, Snail & Barnacle
