Meristem Design partnered with the London Borough of Hillingdon to tackle the visual clutter posed by electrical cabinets in a local shopping precinct. The clever solution? Bespoke, powder-coated steel planters adorned with robust Hedera Helix Ivy forming aesthetic green screens. This initiative not only veiled the unsightly cabinets, but also enriched the locale with a dash of nature.
Addressing London's Vulnerability to Flooding and SuDS Planters as a Solution:
London, with its vast urban landscape, rich history, and the serpentine River Thames coursing through its heart, faces unique challenges regarding flood risks. Several areas in London are particularly vulnerable to flooding.
SuDS planters are not only designed to manage stormwater and reduce flood risks but also bring in greenery, enhancing the city’s aesthetics and biodiversity. In residential areas, they serve as mini-reservoirs, absorbing excess rainwater and slowly releasing it back, preventing sudden strain on the drainage systems. By integrating them into urban landscapes, we don't just address flooding; we also embrace biophilic design principles
In the bustling heart of London, Sherwood Park Primary faced a unique challenge: limited outdoor space. Through innovative biophilic design, an overlooked plot was transformed into a dynamic outdoor classroom. A haven for students aged 5 to 19, this new space offers sensory gardens, a mud kitchen, and endless opportunities for hands-on learning.
