A challenging design and build contract to transform a steep area of waste ground adjacent to the offices, into an enjoyable seating area for staff to enjoy, as well as providing a desirable setting for the offices. Terracing, sleeper retaining walls and profiled grass and planting, enabled the creation of a level circular area with seating and a bubbling stone water feature. Trees with uplighters also extended the attraction to the new planting and offices into the evening.
