It is our policy to seek opportunities for innovation in sustainability for each project and to research and develop new ideas for the benefit of the project and the advancement of landscape planning and design.The practice takes advantage of close relationships with collaborating architects, engineers and other specialists to develop new approaches to problems. Recent areas of research and innovation with an emphasis on green technologies include:• development of a high-impact green wall system to clad a multistorey car park as part of the high-density Bristol Harbourside project• development of an approach for implementing local provenance planting and seeding schemes at Osprey Quay in Dorset• design and construction of a prototype low-cost, extensive green roof system for low-cost industrial units in rural Devon• development of innovative soil amelioration strategies to suit a range of soil conditions, with a view to the successful implementation of site-specific grasslands and woodland planting regimes• research and detailed design of low-cost precast concrete construction for elements of sustainable urban drainage infrastructure.• research into low-energy landscape lighting with particular reference to fibreoptics and LED technology.• design of a floating reed-bed system at Bristol Harbourside as part of a site-wide SUDS strategy.
