GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PLAN : BARNWOOD ARBORETUM.

Construction details

Construction details for the development of a Park site. The site was undulating and in places poorly drained. To create access to wild spaces I needed to create pathways that were robust, free draining and not too intrusive. The materiality and the construction of SuDS managed the landscape to allow visitors to dwell and explore.

Sketches and ideas and visualisations.

Below are some examples of sketches and visualisations employed to bring a concept to life. From early sketches and ideas to visualisations to suggest a vernacular for a supplementary planning reports. The dipiction of people within the sites adds character as well as scale.

Visualisation for planning report cover for application to build 70 new homes.

Planting details

The Planting Schedule was generated in AutoCAD and gives a detailed and scaled schedlue of planting including varieties density and potsize for clear costing and planting. Plans can be be used to generate 3D designs through SketchUp.

Built form and construction drawings.

The brief was to create a cafe and seating area in the heart of Barnwwod Arboretum and Park. I researched many ideas for the materials for the bulit form and the surfaces prioritising their resilience and “sponge” qualities. Stabilising planting and retaining walls were needed to create a spillout seating area for the cafe.

Site Analysis and context.

As part of a study of the Grey Friars Redevelopment Project it was important to analyse the site and its context. Below are the majot pedestrianised routes with central Gloucester. The Hydrology, green and blue infrastuctures, built form, heritage, aspect and topology were similarly visualised.
