Hills Road, Cambridge | Davis Landscape Architecture

Stepped access to the building frontage was required to address the difference in level between the building entrance and pavement level. We worked closely with the project architects to ensure a desirable outcome was achieved. As it was not possible to accommodate a DDA compliant ramp within the limited space to the building frontage it was necessary to incorporate a platform lift within our landscape proposals.

The planting was of a simple linear design and used a mixture of evergreen shrubs and deciduous planting with attractive winter stems. The evergreen planting was of a sufficient height to provide visual screening to venting which discharged air from below the upper level, and behind the planting.
