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
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.

LUC worked as lead consultants and landscape architects through the detailed design and implementation stages of the restoration of Bushey Rose Garden. It was designed by Thomas Mawson in 1912 for Sir Hubert von Herkomer, a successful Victorian artist, and was originally part of the garden of Lululaund, Herkomer’s house.
Detailed investigations allowed a comprehensive historically accurate restoration that included the refurbishment of the Rose Temple, original tufa stone fountain, the pergola, Grade II listed Summer house, and original brick paving.
Bespoke restoration commissions include benches copied from Mawson’s designs, Rose pillars and a bronze plaque which was replicated from historic photographs, the original having been stolen in 1967. The Cloister, which was part of Herkomers Art School has been reconfigured into a performance space.
Additions to the garden include the Potting Shed, a gardener’s store and facilities, a small yard, new gates and railings and new paths.
The project was opened to much acclaim with David Mawson, one of Thomas Mawson’s grandsons in attendance.
Bushey Rose Garden is open all year round with free admission and thousands of visitors have enjoyed the garden since it reopened in July 2010.

Probably the best photo in terms of distilling the Guadalupe River Park by Hargreaves Associates. The trees march along as a datum, and the ground shifts against them. Here we see how the grasses kiss the sunlight, emphasizing each layer of the constructed topography. Again, massive, but delicate.

Walled garden with small pond and perennial plantings for house that sits on a northern Pennsylvania lake.
These photos show the finished garden after the terracing work is complete. After the retaining walls were constructed, the ground was raised to the new levels with topsoil and a new lawn laid. A large deck at the lower end of the garden provides an ample entertaining area and raisning the shed also allows easy access. A small amount of planting along the left side adds to the interest without creating too much maintenance. The design was carried out by www.postalgardendesign.co.uk and the build by www.wyldlandscapes.co.uk

These photos show the construction of the garden using vertical round timber poles set in concrete to create the visible retaining walls. Sleepers provided the steps and hidden retaining walls. A significant repair tothe existing fence had to be done as the tree surgeons who initially installed the fence really did not have a clue how to build a fence! Tree stumps were also a factor as the garden had several trees removed prior to this work being carried out. The design for the garden was done by www.postalgardendesign.co.uk and the build was carried out by www.wyldlandscapes.co.uk.
