The landscape
proposal consists of roof garden, internal site layouts
and upgrading existing junction.
This feature is the central open space within the proposed
development. All of the proposed apartments have a view
into this space. The courtyard makes use of the change in
level (which is 3-4.5 metres) by means of the creation of
a series of terraces.
There are three levels of water proposed, all of which cascade
down into the main pool. The central pool will be a shallow
reflecting pool with approx. 100mm depth of water and lined
with washed cobble. The planted terraces are composed of
plant material which will trail down the retaining structures
over time and soften the appearance of the courtyard.
The main central space has been configured to be a soft
landscape space in keeping with the residential nature of
the development. Large areas of paving have been avoided,
and the space is configured with a number of small pockets
of high quality stone paving interspersed with lush planting
of Bamboo, and textured plant material. The proposal also
makes use of fine textured plant material and trees.
