Langley Country Park
Langley Country Park is a joint housing development between Radleigh Homes and Miller Homes.
Background
Langley Country Park is a joint housing development between Radleigh Homes and Miller Homes. The project was part of phase one of a 56 home development in the north west side of Derby, designed to retain a country park theme that reflects aspects of the original landscape.
Our Role
idverde was selected due to their experience in surfacing sales areas for large housing projects of this kind, backed by previous collaborations with trusted partner Radleigh Homes. idverde was asked to design & install all site landscaping for 56 housing plots, a temporary sales cabin and a sales complex.
idverde offered their full suite of services, transforming the site entrance with the installation of attenuation ponds. The original brief specified landscaping for only the housing plots and sales areas and their teams went above and beyond the initial asking.
idverde designed the front and rear gardens of the sales complex plots and tailored them to translate into the interiors of the properties. The materials were selected accordingly; decorative blue gravel installed to accompany a nautical themed garden and timber wood sculptures to reflect a country themed home. This helped to define the gardens of the individual show homes,
providing design consistency and allowing them to be easily divided when sold. The area benefitted from an entrance feature to the development.
Operations ensured that all works were completed to deadline, providing multi-service discounts to the client. Through their in-house design capability and well qualified landscaping teams, idverde provided high impact designs and innovative planting and features that brought life to Langley Country Park.
