Stepped access to the building frontage was required to address the difference in level between the building entrance and pavement level. We worked closely with the project architects to ensure a desirable outcome was achieved. As it was not possible to accommodate a DDA compliant ramp within the limited space to the building frontage it was necessary to incorporate a platform lift within our landscape proposals.
The planting was of a simple linear design and used a mixture of evergreen shrubs and deciduous planting with attractive winter stems. The evergreen planting was of a sufficient height to provide visual screening to venting which discharged air from below the upper level, and behind the planting.
