A S P E C T Landscape Architecture
Creating sustainable & contemporary solutions, liveable spaces for people, healthy & resilient environments with sustained habitat for flora & fauna
The Hiddingh Campus Precinct Plan by City Think Space, TKLA, Bridget O’Donoghue and Jeffares & Green in 2014 guided the Hiddingh Campus Rosedale Building parking area development, which was designed using Sustainable Urban Drainage Principles with the proposal for stormwater attenuation through the introduction of a bioswale along the Northern boundary of the campus, to accept surface water runoff and allow infiltration to recharge the ground water.
Trees were planned along this boundary, providing a dual function of screening the adjacent large scale hotel building and increasing absorption of surface stormwater runoff. Excess stormwater flow would then be handled via an overflow into the conventional stormwater system.
