Landscape Design

The landscape first approach at Greenford Quay restores a disused industrial site. The north and south banks of the Grand Union Canal have been reconnected with a new footbridge. A change in level to the north bank presented the opportunity for an outdoor amphitheatre. To balance this with an active public realm on the south bank, outside Lyon’s Dock, a level paved waterfront allows life to spill out from the public ground floor spaces.

Each building in the Greenford Quay masterplan has been designed with private outdoor space for the benefit of residents. At Lyon’s Dock, the expansive ground floor is topped with an E shaped floorplan from first floor up, maximising light and ventilation, the void spaces between have been turned into podium gardens which look out over the Grand Union Canal.
