TOWNSHEND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

Ropemaker is situated on a prominent City island close to Moorgate in the City of London. Townshend Landscape Architects have designed the roof terraces of 593,000 sq ft for both professional and financial services occupiers. The landscaping is intended to break the orthogonally main lines of the building, with the planting designed as a series of mounds to give users the opportunity to explore and enjoy a variety of plants, trees and stunning City views. All terraces are paved with high quality blue limestone and the seating areas have been planned as triangular stone sculptures carved into the mound. The result will be an impressive building with 40 trees split between levels 8, 12, 16 and 20.
