McIlwaine Landscape Architects designed the external plaza, pathways, and shrub beds, seamlessly integrating the landscape with the adjacent architecture and existing car parks.  In collaboration with lead consultants Mott MacDonald, the design features directional paving to guide passengers intuitively along key routes, enhancing wayfinding and overall user experience.

Aluminium trims were incorporated as a subtle nod to the aerospace industry — referencing materials commonly used in aircraft design.

The project was delivered by Piperhill Construction Ltd, and it’s been a pleasure to be part of such a well-coordinated team.

Appointed by Queen’s University, as lead designers, we collaborated with our Client and were assisted by The William Johnston Partnership and #Chromalighting. The design closely links with and relates to the adjacent built form which has been fully refurbished in tandem with this project. The external areas provide a holistic educational environment with well-designed break-out spaces, containing carefully chosen street furniture, sculptural feature lighting, surfacing materials and highly scented shrub & ground cover planting. It provides a welcome space in which to relax and socialise. The Main Contractor for the project was #killowencontracts.
