MILBOURNE STREET, CARLISLE

Stephenson Halliday was commissioned by Border Homes Ltd. to prepare landscape proposals for a development of city centre apartments adjacent to the River Caldew. The six storey building is surrounded by communal gardens, with an elevated flood protection bank to the river frontage which provides a lookout structure to exploit views over the river corridor. The plan provides a strong structure when viewed from above, with private garden spaces to the rear and side of the building, and the street frontage of formal lawns and tree planting enclosed by railings.
