Kinnear Road, Edinburgh

Richard Murphy Architects, AMA Homes

​

MBLA prepared landscape proposals for a new residential development in Edinburgh designed by Richard Murphy Architects for AMA Homes.

​

The proposals included a Corten steel terrace planted up with dwarf pines, junipers and ornamental grasses to reference the Edinburgh skyline which includes Arthur's Seat and Sailsbury Crags.

​

The planting within the front gardens comprises single stem and multi-stem forms of birch trees underplanted with ground covering herbaceous plants and ferns to evoke the impression of a woodland.  

 

The planting of the front gardens was complicated due to the shallow depth of topsoil as they are located on a concrete slab to the roof of a basement car park.
