Buckland Court London 2004–2010

The environment, health, security and employment give this landscape scheme a strong mandate to challenge convention. The design is developed around themes such as exercise, horticulture and education.

Decorative Corten gates use patterns similar to those popularised by William Morris for the Nineteenth Century home
