One Green Way Residential Community

Carefully selected landscape materials & Mediterranean planting create a sustainable & resilient environment whilst providing a unique sense of community living.

Green shadeways, lush pools and gathering spaces all echo a palette that reflects the local vernacular in a modern way – ‘traditional Portuguese with a contemporary twist’. Space is given for cohesive community living with walkable links between amenities supporting healthy and active social living.

East India Dock

Bringing a dockland to life with modern design and classic style

In the heart of London, a stones throw from the prestigious Canary Wharf and surrounded by some of the most innovative quarters of London is East India Dock. Cracknell was appointed for all hard and soft landscape design and supervision services for this office development situated within the old East India Dock site.

The design incorporates a canal-style water feature, which consists of one arm of an L-shaped canal, lined by trees, crossed by humped, metal footbridges, and containing fountains. Post and chain balustrading reflect the Docklands heritage. Framing the canal is an avenue of lime trees which provide shaded seating adjacent to the water’s edge.

Cracknell also worked closely with the sculptor, David Jacobsen, who was commissioned to create all the public art for the project.

Durrës Waterfront

This linear promenade activates & and connects 2.8km of beach front on the Adriatic coast in a city best known for its vast Roman amphitheatre.

Drawing influence from this, the masterplan brings a sense of theatre to the landscape with sports, cycling and running tracks, food stations, art, water sports as well as entertainment at regular intervals, with shaded gathering spaces & beach lounger terraces.

An entertainment pier & amphitheatre create focal points for a new activation programme. Mediterranean beachside planting creates a relaxed and rustic aesthetic reinforced by the use of raw and recycled materials in the hard landscape elements.
