ALD were involved in developing the Bell Phillips and Townshend Landscape Architects concept designs through to completion. With a meticulous attention to detail, ALD worked through challenges such as the creation of granite clad plinths for the historical roller bases, radial paving interfaces and brick clad retaining wall details.
