- 4. DavisLandscape Architecture Our Approach We believe the quality of the public realm has an impact on the overall quality of our lives. We aim to design inclusive spaces that offer opportunity for all and encourage human interaction outside that of the usual day-to-day encounter. We pride ourselves on creating interesting and durable solutions for each unique project. We believe new landscape designs should be sensitive to their individual local context. Our primary aims are to provide our clients with robust design solutions that exceeds their expectations whilst addressing the needs of a commercial market place. Careful consideration of the physical and emotional needs of the end user is at the core of our design process throughout all work stages. When designing residential landscapes our aspiration is to integrate the proposed residential community with the existing using landscape spaces, materials and planting to seamlessly stitch the communities together.

- 6. DavisLandscape Architecture Residential Communities We believe design has an important role in the creation of a strong, sustainable society. The creation of safe, beautiful spaceswhichencourageregularencountersbetweenmembers of a locality helps to foster strong cohesive communities. We are experienced in the design of the Home Zone type environment. These create pedestrian friendly, walkable neighbourhoods which make door step play for children a real possibility. Theconsidereddesignofcommunalparks and play areas, vehicular and pedestrian networks and defensible private space all help to create a pleasant, functioning community. We fully understand the functional requirements of residential communities. We design landscape space so the requirements of various service and delivery vehicles are integrated elegantly into our final landscape design. Where appropriate we would encourage our clients to adopt the Shared Space concept, where vehicles and pedestrians share the same paved surface. This, in conjunction with other traffic calming techniques can help to create pedestrian focused environments.

These space can realise the full potential of a development site by providing additional amenity space and valuable habitat for wildlife. Asapracticeweareveryexperienced in the detailed design of the various forms of podium deck landscapes. We understand the opportunities and design constraints implicit in the varying types of podium deck build up. Carefully designed extensive and intensive roof landscapes are critical to their successful implementation. We therefore work closely with other consultants throughout the design process to ensure all elements included within the podium deck/ roof landscape are coordinated. By working closely with other consultants at an early stage, our landscape architects can better understand the functional elements required within the landscape layer. These can then be integrated into our proposal from the start, thus avoiding costly and poorly considered afterthoughts.

- 10. DavisLandscape Architecture Hard Landscape & Materials Our intention is to design spaces which are functional, inclusive, durable and visually pleasing. Key to this is the selection of materials which are practical, appropriate and within the budget of our clients. As an integral part of the design of communal or public spaces we believe opportunities for social interaction are key to healthy communities. Therefore, the provision of informal seating, opportunities to observe and play are desirable. In public spaces we would encourage the integration of flexible, programmable spaces. These are able to accommodate a variety of activities through time and have the ability to bring life and activity to the public realm. By considering the needs of all possible end users we aim to design inclusive spaces which cater for the broadest spectrum of society. We intend to design in a legible, clutter free manner. This allows for ease of movement, clear wayfinding and helps to provide an aesthetically pleasing environment. Where possible, we aim to source materials that have been produced in an environmentally sustainable manner. The intention is to have a minimal negative impact on our environment, ensuring future generations inherit a sustainable planet.

- 12. DavisLandscape Architecture Plants add a unique and ever changing dynamic to a landscape scheme. As the seasons pass they change shape and colour, flower and emit fragrance. They provide a sense of time in the form of a living tapestry within our landscape design. Horticulture & Planting With a qualified horticulturist employed within our practice we design schemes that are suited to their local environment, are water efficient and are also able to provide habitat and food for wildlife. Planting may be used as a dynamic element within hard landscape structures to provide visually pleasing living forms, seasonal drama and contact with nature. Planting can also provide benefits for the physical environment by cooling and purifying the air, cleaning surface water run off, attenuating noise, providing shade and stabilising banks. Our landscape architects are able to provide comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure our schemes continue to be healthy and improve with time.

DavisLandscape Architecture Play Provision & School Environments Play: Engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather thanaseriousorpracticalpurpose.Unprogrammedplayspaces should be integrated into the landscape where possible and designed to encourage and challenge childrens imagination. We are familiar with the guidelines SixAcre Standard and SPG Providing for Children and Young Peoples Play and Informal Recreation. With input from other consultants we are able to use these documents to advise our clients on appropriate provisions of play required for any given residential development. When accommodated within the public realm we believe play spaces should be seamlessly integrated, not inserted as an afterthought or a stand alone item. The careful selection of plant material within play spaces can provide physical structure to define the area and opportunities for children to interact directly with nature. The integration of natural elements within play spaces enable children to better understand the qualities of different materials and encourages them to engage their imagination in creative ways. Play and spacial arrangement is carefully considered when designing school environments. Circulation, active and passive zones are all key to creating successful school landscape.

- 16. DavisLandscape Architecture Water Issues & SUDS With climate change and the unpredictable nature of weather it is becoming increasingly important to manage water in an intelligent and sustainable manner. Sensitively managed water run off can provide opportunities for the creation of aquatic wildlife habitats. We understand the principals and design limitations of the various Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) which can be used for the management and collection of surface water run off. These may be a simple planted ditch or swale, permeable paving with appropriate sub base or an ornamental rain garden water feature. With our in house horticultural expertise we can integrate appropriate plant material with a SUDS drainage strategy to achieve an attractive, functional outcome. We understand how SUDS techniques can be applied to achieve the desired BREEAM and/ or Code for Sustainable Homes outcome. Green or brown roofs may be used to attenuation surface water run off into the surface water drainage system. This has the added potential benefit of provide valuable wildlife habitats.

- 18. DavisLandscape Architecture Ecology With ever increasing man made pressures on our native flora and fauna there is now a growing awareness of the importance of incorporating measures into development to help offset the loss of habitat. We aim to design in a sustainable manner, in a way that protects and enhances our ecology and minimises the impact of development on our natural resources. Encouraging wildlife into our external spaces can provide children with a valuable educational resource. Working with ecologists we can advise on strategic locations for bird, bat and bug boxes. We are able to integrate native plant species with ornamental varieties to provide visually pleasing planting schemes which are ecologically biodiverse. We have a good understanding of the BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes process. As a consequence we are able to advise our clients where relevant credits are likely to be available.
