LUC is the masterplanner and landscape architect responsible for this new hospital outside Enniskillen. This is an immensely complex project, integrating extensive development into a sensitive context with environmental impacts minimised.
LUC worked closely with team members and the client brief to produce the site masterplan and detailed landscape proposals. This process involves incorporating the numerous and complex needs of a hospital; ensuring site legibility for patients, visitors and staff; addressing therapeutic and environmental considerations within this area of natural beauty and a tight planning framework.
The quantity of design information required by the Hospital Trust was unprecedented, including design to RIBA Stage E, full detailed planning application and EIA. The enormously complex functional and spatial interdependencies of a hospital extend to the site plan (circulation, parking, security, drainage, landscape, approach road and ecology were all part of LUC’s remit). Ground conditions on site are very poor, requiring complex remediation and full integration between civil and landscape design.
Closer to the building, LUC is responsible for the design of the 400m long Linear Gardens — a birch woodland which forms the spine of the hospital. The project also involves the ‘re-wetting’ of wetlands using all surface water run-off from roofs and hard surfaces filtered through a series of pools before discharge into an adjacent lake. Other sustainable solutions include the extensive use of locally grown local flora, the use of local natural hard materials, the creation of extensive species rich meadows, integrated arts such as land art and living willow sculpture and the intended involvement of the local community as part of an educational outreach programme.
The resultant site plan was a masterpiece in binding these potentially disparate elements into workable and attractive environment.
The scheme was completed on time and to budget and opened by HRH The Queen in July 2012. It has proved immensely successful with the NHS, staff, patients and visitors.
The RIBA President has described it as a benchmark for european hospitals.

Why hellooooo there Monday. It's nice to see you too. Check out this custom landscape design we did! We love helping people design their backyard so that it transforms into their own personal paradise. What kind of transformations have you done lately?
Working in collaboration with Eric Parry Architects and Latz + Partner, LUC was selected by Saxon Generali Real Estate to design a roof garden at One Fen Court, a new 17-storey mixed-use development at the heart of the City cluster in the City of London.
LUC’s services included planting design, pre-selection and specification, planning and inspection to deliver the soft landscape for the building’s 2,200m2 rooftop terrace. The garden, which is fully accessible to the public, sits 65m above street level and offers 360o views across London’s skyline.
The roof garden is designed to include all the best aspects of a public space whilst integrating building services and energy efficiency requirements. It provides a refreshingly tranquil escape from the dense City cluster and streets below. Our scheme sensitively combines seasonal herbaceous planting with exposure-tolerant and evergreen grasses, vines and espalier fruit. Its centrepiece is a grove of 88 wisteria supported on a pergola, providing shade, scent and shelter to the roof terrace.
As the visitor moves around the garden the quality of light changes with the aspect and the time of day and season. Moving water on the southern edge of the roof provides relief during warm spells.
“It’s gone beyond our expectations, simply because it has a wow factor that we were hoping for but we didn’t dare dream of.” Tina Paillet, Senior Executive at Generali Real Estate
www.ecclestongeorge.co.uk Garden layout plan view. The design includes lots of places to sit quitely. The Kids Canyon path (right) would have a bumpy/wavey path for skateboards, bikes etc...idea to suggest a river running through the canyon. The Hopping Stones path (bottom) features a series of hopping stones on one side and collection of stone circles on the other, these stone circles could be used in a variety of ways, some might fill with rain water, others might be sand pits etc. The Quiet Path (left) features a covered seating area and fruit trees and bushes.
Build-in planters accommodate large trees and seasonal floral rotations to anchor the retail corridors in the mall
