Strata Design worked with Southampton Hospitals Charity to create a staff roof garden at Princess Anne Hospital. We were delighted to be involved in a project actively supporting NHS staff wellbeing and to work on a project with such a positive impact.

The lighting proposals were carefully considered to maximise enjoyment of the garden and support 24 hour use. Warm temperature surface wash and down lights minimise adverse impacts on wildlife.

Multistem tree planting offers nesting opportunities for birds, and food for a wide array of insects and birds. Plant species were selected for their nectar, food and habitat value to wildlife.

The proposals presented an unusual opportunity to significantly enhance the availability and quality of amenity space for University Hospital Southampton staff. The implemented design also improves the visual quality of the immediate and wider campus context, enhances environmental quality and increases the amount of shelter, habitat and food sources for local wildlife.

The roof garden features a sociable covered seating area with refreshment kiosk and a more secluded area with verdant planting and integrated seating for quiet reflection. The space takes advantage of impressive views towards the Western Docks and River Test.

The roof surface is designed to function as a blue/green roof system. Through rainfall capture, storage and reuse in an automated irrigation system, planting resilience to drought events is significantly increased, reducing maintenance requirements and drinking water use by eliminating the need for frequent manual watering.

Ground-level climbing plants on a facade mounted frame link the green roof to the wider planting scheme for maximum habitat value, enhancing residents' wellbeing by drawing nature into the development. A number of bat and bird nesting boxes provide habitat opportunities and spectacle for the residents.
https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2449029312395621411857501693441/alleyway.jpg
The planting strategy varied across the site to cope with sun and shade.
https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2449029312414068155931211245057/dipping-pool.jpg
A variety of spaces and aspects allow use throughout the day, including a secluded residents' garden and water feature connected to a historic dipping pool.
https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2449029312469408388152339899905/rear-garden-copy.jpg
Wildflower planting and fruit trees enhance the rear residents garden, promoting casual interaction and engagement with nature.

A substantial corten planter with seating provides robust separation between the parking area and frontal garden.
https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2449038005036384521935800149505/planterview.jpg
The project includes permeable surfaces and surface water drainage to attenuation cells passively irrigating the planting.

The matrix planting provides year round interest with a structural layer of grasses, seasonal flowers and sculptural seed heads and stems. A generous patio affords views over the surrounding countryside and the discreet south facing garden with sinuous mown paths set in prairie style planting.

Native species shrubs and tall hedging to the boundaries ease the transition into the wider rural context.

the external spaces around both new build and expanded

A sandbox project, exploring the notion that a large swale in the Broadway in Winchester would provide valuable environmental and social benefits. A nod to the historic presence of open rivers in the area, sustainably resolving local drainage problems and freeing a potentially valuable civic resource from its fate as a barren, car dominated space into a ecologically rich setting for the Guildhall and Abbey Gardens.

Once you get above the roofline of Winchester you realise how barren and underused the rooftops are. What if all suitable roofs were green and used for recreation and relaxation? Another suitable question for a sandbox test exercise. Green roofs bring many benefits, including biodiversity enhancements and habitat creation for birds, insects, and pollinators. They enhance the connectivity and diversity of urban green spaces and the ecological value and resilience of the city. Panoramic views of the cityscape and sky offer a unique and memorable experience in attractive and accessible spaces for people to enjoy nature, socialize, dine, and unwind. A string of roof top gardens would increase the economic and social value of the city centre area and foster social cohesion and inclusion in spaces for cultural and community events.
