One Hyndland Avenue Glasgow
Raised planters for a luxury residential development in Glasgow
Beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces in Glasgow’s West End
LDA Design specified WoodBlocX Landscaping to provide the raised planters and seating for the courtyard areas of its Westpoint Homes project; One Hyndland Avenue, a development comprising of 63 luxury apartments with beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces in Glasgow’s West End.
The design LDA created for the development featured a series of open paved spaces, ample seating and pergolas to add height, with large angular raised planters with integrated seating bordering the perimeters of the site to plant trees, shrubs and plants.
Following a consultation with LDA on potential solutions, the WoodBlocX design team took the initial plans and recreated the original footprint using CAD designs of the modular timber blocks.
Thanks to the versatility of the system WoodBlocX were able to match the design almost identically, incorporating the shapes and angles of the original outline.
WoodBlocX components arrived on site palletised
WoodBlocX supplied all materials directly to the Westpoint Homes’ site and the structures were assembled by their own teams.
The space for materials on site was tight and the size of the planters meant that a large quantity of materials were delivered. WoodBlocX components arrive on site neatly palletised and the individual lightweight pieces are easy to access and manoeuvre when needed.
All WoodBlocX structures are built in the same way using a series of light weight blocks which have been pre-drilled and then treated to provide superior strength - there is no waste or cutting needed.
With all projects challenges can arise during the build, in this case some onsite changes were required due to manholes and water access getting in the way of original design. Our team swiftly redesigned instructions and supplied suitable components to match the change.
“WoodBlocX provided an extremely cost effective solution for this project - our raised planters and seats are quick and easy to install cutting labour costs to provide a long-lasting commercial landscaping solution.”
— Henry Blake (WoodBlocX Director)
