Institutional Landscape Campus

External works across a multi-building campus, coordinating access, drainage and landscape as shared infrastructure between structures built at different times.

Minimalist institutional building with a landscaped entrance path and lawn.

The Site

Several buildings constructed over more than a decade, connected by inconsistent paths, drainage and planting.

The Landscape

A single external-works plan replaced ad hoc paving and planting with a coordinated network of paths, lawns and shade trees connecting every building.

The Construction

Site-wide regrading and drainage works were staged around an operating campus, building by building, to avoid disrupting daily use.

The Integration

Access routes, drainage falls and lighting were planned as one system across the whole site rather than building by building.

The Finished Environment

The campus now reads as a single coordinated environment rather than a set of buildings that happen to share a boundary.
