Allen Pyke Associates were appointed by Galliford Try as part of their design and build team to develop the project to construction stage. The proposals included a podium landscape, with access stairs and an amenity upper-level roof garden. The proposals have been developed to meet Part B of the Building Regulations (Fire safety). A blue roof was introduced over the podium slab as well as an automatic irrigation system. The seating and boulders formed part of the play strategy which was coordinated with Rospa. The proposals involved extensive coordination and collaboration with Argent’s planning stage landscape architect, Andy Sturgeon, to ensure the intent was realised. The proposals also included bespoke bug hotels, seating and a dry riverbed that meanders through the main podium.

We undertook a site inspection at Brent Cross Plots 13 and 203 in July 25. Work is well underway and we are really looking forward to seeing the finished landscape later this summer.
