ST PANCRAS CAMPUS

(2018 - 2025)
Hard & soft landscape design
Client: W.RE
With: Caruso St John Architects 


Hard and soft landscape design for mixed use project in Camden comprising commercial office and light industrial
block and two residential blocks, clustered around a pocket park providing access across the site.

The pocket park comprises a lush shady courtyard with trees, shrubs, perennials and ferns, with feature boulders and a small playful area. Surface materials reflect the industrial heritage of the locality near the Grand Union Canal, with stone and timber setts. The pocket park provides a new public route and a space for residents
to relax within this busy part of the city.

The planting takes inspiration from shady woodland settings and the influence of the natural valley of the river Fleet in this area, with two new semi-mature trees and a multi-layered approach including multi-stem shrubs, herbaceous plants and bulbs for splashes of seasonal colour.

The commercial building features generous roof terraces with a varied topography that allows seating areas to be nestled within characterful planting.
