Summary

This landscape project complements the construction of 18 amenity flats and 3 wheelchair accessible cottages in Elgin designed by Icosis Architects for Hanover Scotland. The landscape design sought to create a modest, domestic scaled and habitable environment for the new tenants that allows both privacy and community interaction through the creation of a series of appropriately scaled private and semi-public spaces. The project demonstrates an attention to detail and a commitment to quality in the landscape design from the client that is not always found or possible in social housing.
