Landscape design provided for Ouseburn housing

We’re so pleased to have designed the landscaping for the first homes to be built in the heart of Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley in more than half a century. The doors have opened to 42 new one-bedroom apartments in the picturesque valley as part of a £6m housing project. Overlooking the Ouseburn Farm, the new homes will provide social housing for vulnerable people in the heart of the city through the Tyne Housing Association.

We’ve worked closely with Anthony Keith Architects and English Heritage to ensure the design and landscaping respected the fact that it has been built on the site of a section of Hadrian’s Wall. The route of the wall is traced along the roof garden.The apartments form an L-shape building which sympathetically straddles the Roman wall.Complete with a roof garden providing residents with outdoor space and enviable views of the area, the development also features mural depictions of the site’s Roman history.
