The Galleries

Approach

A detailed survey was undertaken of all existing trees within the site and important trees, protected by Tree Preservation Orders, retained within the development design to enhance external spaces. A design strategy was then conceived to create a sensitive yet stunning landscape to surround the historic buildings.

Outcome

Important trees have been protected by Tree Preservation Orders and retained within the development design to enhance external spaces. The existing core buildings, combined with the new extensions and underground parking, have created eight courtyard spaces. The design philosophy was to give each courtyard a distinct character while maintaining a harmonious feel to the overall proposals. Two courtyards are to be restored close to the original historic design, while the remainder will be contemporary in style.
