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.

The client wanted to create a design for the property that reflected their personality. They spend a lot of time at home - works from home, has 5 teenagers (plus friends) that stay at home. Priority was a pool with a swim up bar. They liked the idea of Tiki torches and a wood burning fire pit. There is a need for multiple, separate living spaces with seating, The like entertaining, playing, and being outside. They would like to include landscape lighting and plantings to soften and make the are cozier. There is a need and a want for a wrap around deck, outdoor kitchen and front walkway.
Project was placed on hold and we will keep you posted when homeowner finishes process and does installation.
The Horniman Museum and Gardens were given to the people of London for their ‘recreation, instruction and enjoyment’ in 1901 by Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman.
His wealth allowed him to ‘bring the world to Forest Hill’ in the form of a Collection that covers Natural History, Anthropology and Musical Instruments. The Museum also has an Aquarium and 16.5 acres of Gardens.
The Horniman is now an attractive and busy local museum, very well used by schools and families, with over 50% of its visitors under the age of ten.
LUC has coordinated and led the masterplan, research and development of new facilities, including securing HLF funding, and the project was completed on site in 2012.
The Gardens were an integral part of Horniman’s gift and the aim of LUC’s new masterplan is to take interpretation into the Gardens. This extends the existing resources for learning and exploration by using the unique Gardens to grow exhibits — eg. the ‘Living Collection’ showing the fibres used in clothes, musical instruments and tribal masks, and a World Food Garden, reflecting the vibrantly diverse local community.
This is an exciting project as it is not just about preserving physical fabric. When developing the masterplan, we were keen to bring together the existing ideas of this well-established institution and also look at things in a new way.
The museum has sat within Gardens since its inception, however the idea of making a direct connection to the Museums exhibits brings a new dimension to the place and strengthens the link between the Collections and Gardens.

We did a taping with CNN about fall garden care. David Chavez, Jesus Rubin and Bruce Allentuck discussed mulching, pruning, covering sensitive plants and protecting plants from insects. We got to show off one of our favorite client's gardens as well.
