Devonshire Square Landscape, London – Public Realm

24 Dec

Devonshire Square is a small public square located close to Liverpool Street train station, designed by the City of London, and functions primarily as a turning circle for traffic. The carriageway surface has been paved with quality stone paving and the centre of the space is finished with a gravel topping. As well as giving the space a high quality feel the surfaces indicate to the car driver that they are entering a ‘shared’ type space and should slow down and be vigilant of pedestrians. The space at the centre of this square is dedicated to pedestrians. As its perimeter are large wooden bollards, inside of these are pleached trees and at its centre are clusters of single seating units.
