Ares Landscape Architecture
The Legacy Garden – Ares
This
garden was a competition winning garden, The Legacy Garden, University of
Nottingham. This was the first design that caught my eye, I think it’s beautiful
and serves purpose through creating space for celebrations and a space to stop
and reflect. It’s designed as a fully immersive space that captures your
attention and brings you into the present moment.
I
think the layout has been thought out well, designing it with a circle helps
create a space with movement, supported by the pool that will ripple quietly in
the background. It also creates a reflection at the centre, really creating a
strong concept.
There
website is easy to access and navigate, which is convenient for users. The
first page shows projects that they have finished and completed, showing a
working and reliable practice.
“A
Landscape Design Practice working to deliver sustainable, practical and
beautiful places.” – I think this manifesto on their website
describes them well. I think they work very practically, and tend to work on
smaller scaled projects, they finish them to a high standard. Looking at their
site they also seem to be involved in a lot of high street improvements,
including the local spaces within Cheltenham.
I
overall I think this practice is very design based and it is someone who I
would be interested in working for in the future. I love the way they create
unique landscapes, that is unique to the specific places, it seems like a fun
and interesting workplace to be in.
