Quartet Design were approached by JLL on behalf of Hermes to produce a detailed landscape package for a new industrial unit in Erdington in Birmingham.
Quartet produced a landscape masterplan as well as detailed hard and soft
landscape plans as well as a Landscape and Ecological Maintenance Plan and associated specifications.
The scheme was located on a former industrial unit which had been demolished and is currently used as an over spill car park for the neighboring Jaguar Land Rover production facility. Within the proposed scheme there were areas of Attenuation and special emphasis was put onto creating a greater gain on biodiversity within the landscape as well as the building.

Quartet Design were approached to produce a full landscape package for Kamkorp Park. The key design principles for the landscape scheme are to build on the distinct existing landscape character and the qualities of the site.
It is considered important to retain, protect and enhance the existing ‘English Parkland’ character that forms a significant area of the site, together with the more intimate landscape areas associated with the existing buildings and
areas of woodland. The landscape proposals will also ensure the integration of the new architectural elements into the landscape setting and surroundings.
As part of the detailed landscape proposals a landscape management plan was produced in conjunction with the ecologist to provide a long term management regime.
The landscape scheme has been developed in close association with the Design team and in particular the Ecological and Arboricultural Consultants to ensure maximum consideration to wildlife habitat and opportunities for ecological enhancement and added diversity, together with the retention of the existing valued tree population.

The entry area and building main entrance has been developed to achieve a cohesive design quality and sense of place. This has been achieved by a combination of distinct tree character and hard landscape design to create a clear identity and quality to this area.
The selection of Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ was made because of its distinct form. It is a tree that clearly reflects the seasons with spring flower, bright summer foliage, rich autumn colour as well as its tolerance to ground conditions and ease of long-term maintenance.

Role: Landscape Architects - Detailed Hard and Soft Tender Package & 12              Month Supervision

The general aim of the landscape treatment in this area is to provide
enclosure and context to the development, as well as providing screening
of operational activities within the development and an attractive interface
with the adjacent development.
Large species of native trees have been used, which match the scale of the
development; create a linear wildlife-friendly environment linking the north
and south plantations, to facilitate biodiversity and nature conservation
gains. Shrub and tree species have been selected for their attraction to
wildlife as well as their amenity value. This planting will help to screen the
development as well as providing biodiversity and visual interest to the
users of the surrounding footpaths.

Quartet were approached to produce a robust Soft Landscape Scheme for a
small new industrial use business park on the outskirts of Wellingborough in
Northamptonshire.
The restraints Quartet had with the scheme was to ensure the visual impact of the development was restricted sufficiently. This element was achieve with the use of Native Hedges surrounding the Site and the use of trees where we could place the trees. A formal and attractive avenue was created at the entrance to welcome people to the business park which provides visual attraction as well as
important visual mitigation.
