Rayners Lane Station for TfL
We were approached by Transport for London to improve a problematic area outside Rayners Lane station.
The windy corner was attracting anti-social behaviour and litter. We were asked to create a beautiful and robust garden that would design out the potential for crime and make the area more appealing to commuters & residents.
We commissioned custom cut steel containers from our friends at Everedge, with irregular sides to account for the sloping ground. We assembled these on site along with the bespoke trellis designed to prevent access to the recess behind it.
You can see the positive impact it had from the videos below.

This uninspiring space had become a problem for litter and anti-social behaviour. The area manager invited us to propose a green solution.

Facing northeast, the site could only support shade tolerant plants, which gave us the chance to play with big foliage, and colour combinations.

Staff from the station and local residents got involved with the planting.
