Approach
Node was commissioned by Raybone Developments (Mint) Ltd / City Being, to work alongside Gensler Architects to create a high-quality landscape scheme for a residential development of 109 homes on Holliday Street, Birmingham.
The vision for the landscape proposals for Holliday Street is: “To create a high-quality landscape that looks to improve health and well-being by appealing to all the human senses. The design will provide seasonal interest, sensory features, deliver ecological enhancement and improve overall standards of biodiversity.”
Impact
The landscape design:
- Creates a welcoming entrance and soften the building’s frontage onto Holliday Street.
- Provides external terraces at the front of the building, alongside a communal garden and welcoming entrance.
- Incorporates a private communal courtyard for residents at the rear of the building.
- Creates an external roof terrace on the top of the building, providing a range of amenity spaces for residents including relaxing and barbecue area, children’s play and outdoor fitness area.
A planning application has been submitted to Birmingham City Council in summer 2022.
