Goodmans Fields - Aldgate, London. E1 8EY
|
Project: Goodmans Fields – London Development Client: Berkeley Homes Ltd Landscape Architect: Fabrik UK Landscape Contractor: Scotscape Ltd Water Feature Contractor: Fairwater Ltd Description: A seven acre development in the heart of London, as seen in this promotional video. While working with Fairwater Ltd we provided the technical design for the Stage 1 courtyard garden. The public space consists of series of naturally filtered and planted pools set in a quadrant around the central lawn. Water is pumped through a series of biological filters; chutes and jets all at podium level, before returning to a basement plant room for testing and recirculation. We hope to begin the second stage very soon that includes a number of bronze mustangs galloping through shallow pools. Each hoof in contact with the water will have a jet simulating the impact of the horse’s hoof in the pool. This is effect can be seen at another similar feature in Texas called “The Mustangs of Las Colinas” |

Project: Formal Rill – London Residential
Client: Private Client Landscape Architect: Marcus Barnett Landscape Contractor: White and White Water Feature Contractor: Fairwater Ltd Description: This is a beautiful white stone clad rill set in the garden of a Kensington property in central London. Working with Marcus and Fairwater Ltd we were able to produce a waterproofing detail that meant the water level could brim to the underside of the coping stones. Two large stainless steel chutes cascade water from the upper pool to the lower pool providing a gentle audible backdrop to mask the London traffic. Other work we have done with Marcus and Fairwater Ltd can be found here and here. |
