Variations in the detail begin to form planters of a scale to accommodate large trees with void former used to satisfy loading restrictions, but with each iteration the planting is reviewed to make sure the key root zone is well provided for. Close to hand details in planting (texture, scent, tonal qualities, composition) signify changes in mood, responding to orientation and offering moments of contrasting quality and further variations of the concrete edges are expressed as extra wide seating.
This scheme seeks to improve the urban grain of the quarter in which it sits, with street tree planting managed in the narrow Lad Lane and a generous set back and garden space dropping down to -1 facing onto it, so as to engage positively.
