Residential CommunitiesWe believe design has an important role in the creation of a cohesive, sustainablesociety. We aim to create safe, beautiful spaces which encourage regularencounters between members of a locality, helping to foster strong engagedcommunities.We believe the quality of public realm andpublicly accessible spaces have an impact onthe overall quality of our lives. We aim to designinclusive spaces that offer opportunity for all andencourage human interaction outside that of theusual day-to-day encounter.We are experienced in the design of ‘HomeZone’ type environments. These can helpto promote pedestrian friendly, walkableneighbourhoods which make door step play forchildren a real possibility.The considered design of communal parks andplay areas, vehicular and pedestrian networksand defensible private space all help to create apleasant, functioning community.We fully understand the functional requirementsof residential communities. We designlandscape space so the requirements of variousservice and delivery vehicles are integratedelegantly into our final landscape design.Mill Farm, Hanworth, RichmondTyson Road, Forest Hill, LewishamGrange Road, WalthamstowDavisLandscape Architecture

Podium Deck Landscapes & Roof GardensIn our urban environments roof gardens and podium deck landscapes are avaluable resource. These spaces can realise the full potential of a developmentsite by providing additional amenity space and a valuable habitat for wildlife.As a practice we are very experienced in thedetailed design of all forms of podium decklandscape build ups. We understand theopportunities and design constraints implicitin the different types of podium deck drainagesystems.The careful design of extensive and intensiveroof landscapes are critical to their successfulimplementation. We therefore work closely withother consultants throughout the design processto ensure all elements included within thepodium deck/ roof landscape are coordinated.By working closely with other consultants at anearly stage of a project, our landscape architectscan better understand the functional elementsrequired within the landscape layer. These canthen be integrated into our proposal from thestart, thus avoiding costly and poorly consideredafterthoughts.Edgware Road, Colindale, BrentYoung Street, Kensington & ChelseaSt Luke’s, Canning TownDavisLandscape Architecture

Commercial Landscape DesignThe landscape zones surrounding commercial buildings are an often overlookedopportunity. They can provide spaces for branding, a suitable setting for thebuilding and approaches suitable to the building’s function. These can beincorporated with the functional requirements of the building.As a practice we have significant experience atall stages of the design process for landscapesassociated with a wide variety of commercialtype buildings.We understand the possible functionalrequirements of external spaces associated withthese types of building. These are discussedand agreed at an early stage of the designprocess, helping to avoid abortive work at laterstages. In addition, costly and poorly integratedafterthoughts can be avoided.We are able to make suggestions on brandingopportunities within the external environment.This may be associated with signage, colour orthe placement of sculpture within the landscapezone.We are experienced in defining strategicwayfinding strategies by using a clear hierarchyof materials. This ensures the landscape islegible and a suitable sense of arrival can beprovided.Vintry & Mercer Hotel, Mansion HouseEast Village, Stratford, NewhamBrunel House, PortsmouthDavisLandscape Architecture

Play, Learning & School EnvironmentsPlay: “Engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious orpractical purpose.” Programmed and unprogrammed play spaces should beintegrated into the landscape where possible and designed to encourage andchallenge children’s imagination.With input from other consultants we are ableto use SPG ‘Providing for Children and YoungPeople’s Play and Informal Recreation’ to adviseour clients on appropriate provisions of playrequired for any given residential development.When accommodated within the public realmwe believe play spaces should be seamlesslyintegrated, not inserted as an afterthought or astand alone item.The careful selection of plant material within playspaces can provide physical structure to definethe zone and help to provide opportunities forchildren to interact directly with nature.The integration of natural elements withinplay spaces enable young children to betterunderstand the qualities of different materialsand encourages them to engage theirimagination in creative ways.Play and spatial arrangement are carefullyconsidered when designing schoolenvironments. Circulation, active and passivezones are all key to creating successful schoollandscapes.Gordon Infant School, IlfordWestbury Estate, Clapham, LambethSummit Court, Kilburn, BrentDavisLandscape Architecture

Hard Landscape & MaterialsOur intention is to design spaces which are functional, inclusive, durable andvisually pleasing. Key to this is the selection of materials which are robust,appropriate for their use and within the budget defined by our clients.As an integral part of the design of public spaceswe believe opportunities for social interactionare key to healthy communities. The provision ofopen and private seating opportunities and playare desirable to achieve this end.In public spaces we would encourage theintegration of flexible, programmable spaces.These are able to accommodate a variety ofactivities through time and have the ability tobring life and activity to the public realm.By considering the needs of the end user at theoutset of the design process we aim to createinclusive spaces which cater for the broadestspectrum of society.We intend to design in a legible, clutter freemanner. This allows for ease of movement, clearwayfinding and helps to provide an aestheticallypleasing environment.We aim to source materials that have beenproduced in an environmentally sustainablemanner. The intention is to have a minimalnegative impact on our environment, ensuringfuture generations inherit a sustainable planet.Ravenscourt House, HammersmithCrescent Lane, Clapham, LambethMaurice Wilkes Building, CambridgeDavisLandscape Architecture
