Habitat Survey
For the design, we had to add two retention ponds and two mounds to allow for run off. This required a cut and fill procedure and a rework of contours. We also had to fill out a habitat survey and sort out a matrix planting plan for a woodland buffer.
The planting matrix included native woodland and shrub planting to increase biodiveristy and sustainability. This will also suit the context of Park Campus and Cheltenham.
North Place
North Place car park in Cheltenham has been described as a Tabular Rasa, a space that is a clean slate, ready for development.
Our brief detailed a list of components to feature in our design: 24,000 sqm of live work space, an amphitheatre, 800 car parking spaces with 100 for electric cars and bicycle storage. My idea was to connect the space through a rain channel, where rainwater and grey water would be run through a cycle that allowed for everyone to experience rain without getting wet. This was influenced by the Barbican Conservatory’s Rain Room exhibition and used as a catalyst to draw people in.
