Roundfield worked with BCP council and a team including Pentan architects and PHG engineers to develop a multi functional blue green landscape for a large scale housing development. The development that has been approved by the local authority is predominately affordable housing along with 20 units of short-term accommodation to temporarily house families at risk of becoming homeless.
On a demanding valley site that is dominated by existing trees, Roundfield have designed a series of walkways and suspended platforms that sit above a dynamic biodiverse landscape, designed to capture and slow rainwater runoff from the housing blocks and hard surfaces.
