Catford Green, London SE6<br />
Witherford Watson Mann<br />
The guiding design principle for the<br />
architects’ vision at Catford Green was<br />
for the architecture to respect and<br />
calmly blend with its surrounding<br />
landscape. This was achieved in<br />
a number of ways: by supporting<br />
existing mature planting with new<br />
indigenous species and letting the<br />
landscape lead the design of the<br />
spaces between the buildings. We see<br />
these choices as sympathetic to this<br />
extraordinary landscape.<br />
The landscaping and public realm<br />
approach set out to enhance the<br />
provision of public amenity space with<br />
additional trees and planting, enhance<br />
connectivity with Ladywell Fields and<br />
improve the public realm experience.<br />
