Planted terraces and research gardens with soil depths of up to 600mm form the largest multi-functional green roof in Europe at the University of Greenwich’s Stockwell Street building. These provide outdoor studios and living laboratories (including an aquaponics unit) for teaching and research, while attenuating stormwater, improving biodiversity and moderating heat gain.

Environmental enhancements are a key driver for our urban designers as they work to deliver new communities across The Wirral for The Leverhulme Trust. The site layouts are devised around existing landscape features such as hedgerows, ponds and mature trees.
