Elmsfield Mixed-Use Development

The overall aim of the landscape masterplan was to provide a high quality, multi-functional setting for the general public and residents, a safe, open space able to accommodate a wide range of both permanent and temporary uses throughout the year.

Key features:

• a range of open spaces, trees and planting within a coherent park structure with a linked network of footpaths
• a refined palette of materials and furniture to help create a unified identity
• a large play area in the northern sector of the park designed with inclusivity and accessibility in mind
• play equipment is mostly made of timber to emphasise the parkland character
• boundaries to the south, west and north are enclosed by railings whilst the eastern boundary is open
• the plaza in the north and the terraces and boulevard running along the retail units and supermarket create an attractive interface and transition between the park and the retail buildings
• entrances are defined by gate posts or similar entrance features
