At Burton Place, Landscape Projects worked with Glenn Howells architects and Shed KM on the design of the public realm and private courtyards.
The intention was to provide a simple and elegant background for the architecture, responding to the various building geometries and materials. A simple palette of grey granite, blue bricks and buff bound gravel was selected for the streets with a long strip of white luxcrete allowing light into the car park below and providing dramatic feature lighting at night.
