Streatham Hill, London

Streatham Hill is a new landmark and another premium residential development in Greater London situated within a 20 min ride on the train to the London city centre. Surrounded by the multi-storey apartment buildings, the private landscaped courtyard forms the heart of the development. Most of the apartments look onto this inner courtyard and it serves as a green oasis to the residents while the thriving shopping street including retail spaces, restaurants and bars is situated just on the other side of the building. As the courtyard was built on top of the underground garage a suitable podium deck build-up was required. Floradrain® FD 40-E was chosen as the heart of the build-up system used under all planting areas to provide an excellent water/air balance. According to the landscape design the planting areas were divided in smaller and larger squares with varying substrate heights to suit the needs of the wide range of plants from trees to evergreen shrubs and blooming perennials.
