WHAT WE DID

Street Furniture That Blends Functionality With Environmental Responsibility

Three Sheldon Sedum Roof Cycle Shelters (SCS304) were designed with a combination of Malford Two Tier Cycle Racks (MCR205) and Malford Cycle Hoops (MCR200) offering versatility in cycle parking while maximising overall capacity for both students and staff and promoting biodiversity on site. The cycle shelters were manufactured from Class 4 Treated Redwood timber, sustainably sourced to deliver a natural look that blends seamlessly with the landscape. Each unit features a galvanised and RAL 8019 powder-coated steel frame for durability and uniformity across the site. The addition of sedum green roofs enhances biodiversity while helping to offset part of the development’s carbon footprint.

To support the academy’s aim to encourage flexible outdoor learning and “take the classroom outside”, amphitheatre tiered seating was installed using Sheldon bench tops (SBN349) in Recycled Plastic (grey) which provides a durable, functional and weather-resistant space for outdoor learning.

Sheldon Recycled Plastic grey bench tops (SBN308) were installed on gabion baskets to create distinctive and aesthetically pleasing three tier seating for spectators in the sports area. Using the combination of recycled plastic slats on gabion baskets makes this seating option desirable in heavy use areas due to its durability and stability, while offering design continuity with the academy’s sustainable aesthetic and functional landscape features.

A complementary range of recycled plastic picnic tables, benches & litter containers solutions were provided within the school’s extensive communal spaces, including:

Pewsham Picnic Tables and Sheldon Benches, offering robust, low-maintenance areas for socialising and dining.
Pewsham Recycling Units – available throughout the site to encourage a litter free area

Site safety was reinforced with the installation of Malford Bollards and Door Barriers, clearly defining safe zones and managing movement across high-traffic areas.

THE RESULT

Creating a Net Zero, Future-Ready Learning Environment

Working in close partnership with Kier Construction and AHR, Langley Design provided a bespoke street furniture package that balances environmental responsibility with visual appeal and is aligned to the academy’s needs and sustainability goals.

The cycle shelters feature sustainably sourced timber and sedum green roofs, blending naturally into the surroundings while promoting biodiversity and reducing carbon impact. Similarly, the amphitheatre and gabion seating combine recycled plastic with durable structures, offering long-lasting, low-maintenance seating that enhances both functionality and aesthetics, and provides flexible and adaptable outdoor learning environments as well as places to socialise.

Across the site, recycled plastic picnic tables, benches, and litter containers provide communal areas that are both eco-conscious and visually cohesive, while bollards and barriers ensure safe movement.

Together, these features make Winterstoke Hundred Academy not just a place of learning, but a model of how sustainable design can also deliver a welcoming, modern, and aesthetically unified environment.

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

A pop of colour

The client opted for our cost effective Class 4 Treated Redwood canopy timbers with a dark oak stain and the canopy was topped by a vibrant Sea Grass Green Non-Fragile coloured roof. Without compromising on light, the roof also has the benefit of adding a pop of colour to the outdoor spaces.

THE RESULT

Premium materials

Our stylish Langley LBN111 benches were manufactured in Hardwood Iroko with a galvanised and powder-coated finish, offering both protection and colour to the steel elements.

This combination of premium materials tied our Street Furniture elements into the new building and the newly landscaped areas beautifully.
