Rockingham Wing Extension - Landscaping Proposal

The current landscaping proposal centres around limiting the impact of the new building for Windermere Road residents, whilst simultaneously creating a therapeutic view for patients and visitors to the new departments. This is achieved via a deep connection between the building itself and the surrounding landscaping elements.
