Supply & Install Archives - Langley Design

WHAT WE DID

Durable steel planters and elegant seating

Designed with flexibility and durability in mind, the galvanised and powder coated steel planters are made from robust 3mm Zintec sheets and are highly resistant to all weather conditions.

Langley Design installed more than 250 metres of bespoke planters and 63 metres of standard planters in a variety of shapes and sizes, spanning the communal spaces to create an expansive area for greenery and garden beds.

Their sleek and industrial finish enhances the aesthetics of this communal area and has created a vast space for promoting biodiversity across the landscape.

Integrated into the planter systems is a range of curved and straight timber benches, made from Hardwood Iroko, adding a touch of elegance and an inviting space for residents to relax, socialise, watch children play safely and enjoy the time outdoors.

THE RESULT

Bringing nature to urban living at Premier Place

From the outset, Langley Design worked closely with Stack London and The Harris Partnership to understand the specific needs and deliver the project seamlessly.

The result is a visually strong and functional outdoor environment that residents can enjoy on a daily basis and observe the greenery change with the seasons.

The bespoke planters and benches offer a relaxing space for residents to appreciate away from the busy city life.

Langley Design’s expertise in crafting unique solutions that bring the vision to life are evidenced in this project and the overall goal is a fantastic example of how nature can be thoughtfully bought into an urban living environment.

McArthur’s Yard Housing, Bristol

THE BRIEF

Cycle parking that promotes biodiversity

Set along Bristol’s historic waterfront, McArthur’s Yard is a vibrant spot that combines history, community, and modern-day charm. As part of Bristol Docklands’ transformation, Hill Construction created this thoughtfully designed new housing development featuring 142 new homes with a focus on modern living, sustainability and community engagement.

A key element of the project brief was to create sustainable, secure and environmentally beneficial outdoor parking facilities for residents, with a focus on maximising capacity in high density areas. Langley Design collaborated with Hill Construction and Novell Tullett Landscape Architects to create custom-made Sedum Roof Cycle Shelters that would blend in with the aesthetics of the project, promote biodiversity and reduce rainwater runoff.

WHAT WE DID

High density, secure cycle parking for residents

Langley Design delivered three fully bespoke, high density sedum roof cycle shelters each equipped with two-tier cycle racks and sliding steel mesh gates to maximise cycle parking capacity at McArthur’s Yard.

Each of the cycle shelters were fully enclosed, clad with timber for added weather protection and the sliding steel mesh gates were designed and installed to optimise space restrictions on the site providing extensive and secure cycle parking for residents.

Crafted from Class 4 Treated Redwood the cycle shelters offer a more natural feel blending seamlessly into the landscape. The sedum roofs are a popular choice particularly in residential areas, promoting biodiversity and helping offset part of the site’s carbon footprint.

Two-tier cycle racks were part of the solution offering higher storage capacity in areas with limited space and allowing the client to meet the increasing demand for cycle parking of city residents.

THE RESULT

Green roof shelters blend into the landscape

Creating custom-made cycle shelters, with sliding steel mesh gates, and two-tier cycle racks allowed Langley Design to create as many cycle parking spaces as possible for this newly developed residential area.

By understanding the specific needs and space challenges of this site, and working collaboratively with Hill Construction, Langley Design delivered high quality bicycle parking for the project, on time and within budget. The end result enabled the architect and client to meet the sustainability goals and create a space savings solution that integrates perfectly with the historic docklands landscape

Morriss House Student Accommodation, Nottingham

THE BRIEF

Innovative outdoor space

Morriss House, a modern student accommodation complex located in the heart of Nottingham, is a prime example of how innovative design can enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of urban spaces. Designed by Weddle Landscape Architects, this contemporary development boasts impressive features that cater to the needs of students, offering outdoor spaces for socializing, relaxation, and environmental sustainability.

Langley Design worked closely with RG Group and Weddle Landscape Architects to understand the specific needs of the project and translate those requirements into bespoke solutions that complement the architectural vision and create a welcoming environment for residents. In collaboration with RG Group, we delivered a variety of high-quality, custom-designed elements that would seamlessly integrate into the landscaping of the site.

WHAT WE DID

Bespoke canopy – a standout feature

A bespoke Sedum Roof Curved Canopy provides shelter while promoting sustainability. The sedum roof contributes to environmental benefits, such as reducing rainwater runoff and improving air quality. The canopy itself was expertly designed and fabricated to integrate perfectly with the surrounding landscape, offering students a shaded, comfortable outdoor space to enjoy throughout the year.

A Tensile Canopy was installed over the outdoor cinema to create additional shaded areas and encourage outdoor activity. These canopies are lightweight yet robust, offering protection from the elements while maintaining an open, airy feel.

Steel Planters were chosen to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the development. These planters provide opportunities for greenery, improving the visual appeal of the outdoor areas while helping to improve the urban environment. The robust, custom-made planters offer both durability and style, creating a seamless transition between the built and natural environments.

Picnic Tables and Benches were installed to create inviting spaces for students to relax, socialize, or enjoy meals outdoors. Designed for comfort and durability, they provide functional and attractive solutions for the communal spaces. The combination of timber and galvanised and powder coated steel gives a modern twist on a contemporary piece of furniture. Bright colours are also available to give it that extra spark!

Large square tree planters made from galvanised powder coated steel were added to Morriss House as part of the development of their outside space.

THE RESULT

A sustainable and adaptable space

Throughout the project, Langley Design worked closely with RG Group, the main contractor, and Weddle Landscape Architects, ensuring that the street furniture was delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. Effective communication and collaboration were key to achieving the project’s goals, ensuring that the street furniture elements were installed seamlessly alongside the other landscaping features.

The result is a collection of beautifully designed and highly functional street furniture that both complemented and enhanced the vision for Morriss House, and supports the well-being and social life of students. The bespoke street furniture elements – from the sedum roof curved canopy to the picnic tables and benches – not only enhance the building’s architectural appeal but also contribute to the creation of sustainable, adaptable, and welcoming outdoor spaces.

Langley Design’s attention to detail and commitment to quality have played a crucial role in bringing the vision of Weddle Landscape Architects to life. By providing bespoke solutions that meet the needs of students and the local environment, Langley Design has contributed to the success of Morriss House as a forward-thinking, student-friendly development.

By bringing together design excellence, environmental sustainability, and high-quality craftsmanship, Langley Design has helped elevate Morriss House into an outstanding example of modern student accommodation.

WHAT WE DID

Brand new picnic tables

Our flexible approach to manufacturing allowed us to adapt an existing standard product to form the basis of the new design. From this, we used our bespoke design capabilities to create brand new picnic tables that tied in beautifully with the surroundings.

THE RESULT

Durable and maintenance-free

During the in-house manufacturing and installation period, recycled plastic was chosen over the more traditional timber construction due to the benefits of being durable and maintenance-free. It was also agreed with the client to galvanise and powder coat all metal work to RAL6011 – Reseda Green in order to match the building façade.

Langley Design project managed this scheme from start to finish and after installing all 23 tables, the site team were treated to some of De la Haye’s famous home-made dishes!

WHAT WE DID

A soft transition

The green roof timber shelters link the cladding of the building to the outside space and allow a soft transition when viewing from the courtyard from the surrounding balconies. To compliment the cycle parking, a range of curved benching units were also fitted to allow the residents to interact with the external space.

THE RESULT

Functional external solution

A large pergola was fitted to create an additional external seating area that is a little more secluded. As the planting scheme grows the timber pergola will naturally blend more into its surroundings and enhance the structure to provide more shade and privacy.

The street furniture package works perfectly alongside the building and creates a functional external solution, whilst never compromising the high design standard of this urban village in the centre on London.
