Roundfield are working alongside Emmett Russell architects and Jubb engineers for Bristol City Council to deliver a robust and multi-functional landscape setting for 16 new low energy homes on the site of a 1950s church in Henbury, Bristol. This includes a biodiverse, rain garden courtyard featuring seating and informal play, fed by bio retention planters taking rainwater from roofs along with run off from parking areas that is filtered through a specialist planting medium.

“We have worked with our client, Bristol City Council’s Housing Delivery Team, to ensure that the new development sits comfortably in its leafy context whilst making best use of the available site and meeting the council’s ambitious sustainability goals.”
