Hard and soft landscaping, drainage and public-realm works for a riverside civic redevelopment.
The challenge
Turn a tired riverfront into a durable public realm that performs through freeze-thaw winters and heavy public use.
Our approach
We installed robust hard landscaping, climate-appropriate planting and integrated drainage, sequencing to keep parts of the waterfront open to the public.
The outcome
A resilient public realm delivered on programme that has worn well through its first winters.
