Lend Lease Award 2013 – Winner of Design Innovation
At Canadian Estate, it was important that the design provided a place for the service men and women repatriating from a tour of duty would feel familiar. High quality, locally distinctive materials such as brick and flint banding were instrumental in achieving this familiarity, as well as maximising individuality and increasing character and legibility on the estate.
The masterplan aimed to establish a holistic strategy that combined residents’ needs for open space with a diverse range of habitat types. Wherever possible, existing mature trees and shrubs were retained, helping promote biodiversity whilst adding a mature aesthetic to the development. This approach helped to capture carbon and to create a vibrant and sustainable landscape which embedded the estate within Bulford.
All 260 dwellings comply with military JSP scales, are Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 as well as Lifetime Homes compliant.

Chelsea Embankment Gardens

Description
Landscape design for Chelsea Embankment Gardens
This scheme is for the restoration of the Chelsea Embankment Gardens and seeks to visually reunite and connect the spaces, so that they feel like an extension of one another. The existing site is tired and lacks visual interest.
BoonBrown Landscape Architects have worked closely alongside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the Chelsea Steering Group and Chelsea Physic Garden to come up with a drought-tolerant design that focuses on repetition of planting species and design features between the two sites, to create visual unity. Key entrance spaces will be enhanced through mounded planting beds, incorporating naturalistic planting. Swathes of bulbs and multi-stemmed ornamental trees will also serve to provide visual screening to the busy road, whilst retaining passive surveillance. Yew hedging serves to frame key entrance spaces and the setting of the many statues within the park. There are aspirations to restore the existing Victorian drinking fountain in a bid to reduce singleuse plastics.

Design and Build contract with Graham Construction for Bellway Homes to deliver this 124 apartment, high quality mixed use development of a brownfield site with ground floor offices, D1 nursery and estate management facility, adjacent Chiswick Park and the Gunnersbury Triangle Wildlife Trust.
The external envelope is a Techrete pre-cast concrete panel cladding system set off the rc frame with internal dry lining, requiring diligent design coordination to enable fast-track construction assembly.
The cladding expresses vertical core ‘buttresses’ with fine concrete fins on the public elevation and, by contrast, resorts to a strong horizontal rhythm on the private side, with the flow of the continuous curved balconies contrasting against the expansive glazing.
