What is the role of a Landscape Architect?

For those who haven't come across Landscape Architecture before, think of it this way: as Architects are to buildings, so Landscape Architects are to the landscape or external environment. We plan, design and manage work at all scales - domestic to regional. Our clients range from national and regional utility companies to highway and local authorities, industrial and commercial landowners, developers and community organisations.

What do we stand for?

People - Place - Planet

We believe that everyone has a right to a beautiful, inspiring setting for their life: at home, at work or at play. Our intent is to help to make it so. We stand by the Landscape Institute’s aim to ‘protect, conserve and enhance the natural and built environment for the public benefit’.

2B have signed the UK Landscape Architects Declaration of Climate and Biodiversity Emergency. This declaration sits at the top of our agenda and is reflected in all of the work we undertake.

All employees of 2B have a high-level of involvement with the Landscape Institute (LI). Bill Blackledge, director of 2B, is currently the vice-chair of the LI’s Technical Committee and has taken a leading role in the production of the LI visualisation guidance. Bill was rewarded and recognised for his significant contribution to the Landscape Institute and the wider industry by winning the LI’s ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award in November 2019.

Reviews & Testimonials for 2B Landscape Consultancy Ltd

February 04, 2019

2B provided a well-considered Masterplan, together with supporting visualisations and interpretive explanations of the suggested proposals, which were used for a public consultation exercise. They responded promptly to comments and suggestions from the Committee. Following completion of the project, they have been happy to provide additional verbal advice.

Testimonial by

Jane - Town Clerk, Easingwold Town Council

December 19, 2018

Thanks for your hard work, great ideas and patience for the past few months! It has been challenging to design and execute the landscape area in such short space of time. We have received many positive feedbacks. I will recommend your company for future opportunities on site.

Testimonial by

Denis - Senior Commercial Project Manager, Siemens Plc

November 27, 2018

Thank you! Fantastic turn around and they look really good. Nothing has been too much trouble and your presentation has been extremely professional. I appreciate your creativity. You thought of ideas that exceeded your commission and excited the community. I would really like to work with you again and would recommend 2B for any commission.

Testimonial by

Mary, Calderdale Council

March 07, 2014

I’ll be happy to praise your work to anyone at any time. The service provided was of the very highest standard, not simply in terms of technical competence but also in the level of collaboration and understanding that was essential to completing a major project within exceptionally demanding schedules.

Mike - Co-ordinator, The Rapid Technology Transfer Group

This looks totally amazing - we love it, and could not have asked for anything better to fulfil our brief! This is why you need to employ designers.

Testimonial by

Sally - Chief Executive, Beverley Race Course

February 25, 2008

Your standard of presentation is excellent and technical content is exhaustive. You look at things from most angles. You are positive, friendly and optimistic. You set high standards then meet deadlines.

The design for Siemens' office main entrance at the new wind turbine factory in Hull incorporated Sustainable Drainage (SuDS). Permeable 'Flexipave' surfacing, with large areas of planting and trees.

2B have planned and supervised the HLF-funded restoration of the large historic rock garden at Burnby Hall Gardens and Museum in Pocklington.

A sustainable drainage masterplan for a new housing development on a flood-prone site. Swales and detention basins provide added aesthetic, biodiversity, amenity and wellbeing benefits as well.

The rain garden planters at Hebden Bridge Town Hall will slow the flow of rainwater into the drainage system, helping to reduce the potential for combined sewer flooding and improving the quality of water in the river.

We carried out an individual ZTV for each wind turbine of the 24 wind turbine park in Greece. The individual ZTVs were then collated to create one visual that showed the Zone of Theoretical Visibility for the wind park (map on the right).

The great thing about running a contract is that you get to go from an exciting proposal to the reality of an operational trail. These steps were drawn for the construction contractors.

A domestic garden re-design. The previous conrete and lawn garden was transformed into a garden with seasonal interest, raised planters, smooth resin bound surface, a patio and a planted trellis.

This ZTV covered a length of railway line from Reading to Bristol, using large scale terrain mapping and combining around 1600 individual ZTVs to create a 'heat-map'.

We modelled options for alterations to the Overhead Line Electrics that Network Rail and partners suggested in a workshop. The models help us to understand the extent of the landscape and visual impact in this sensitive AONB location.

The planting scheme for a University's new Halls of Residence is designed to be robust and attractive all year round.

The original designs for the planting scheme featured sustainable drainage (SuDS) solutions. The Quantity Surveyor calculated that if the SuDS interventions were implemented, it could have saved the client over £100k.

Plants were carefully considered to provide safe and calming courtyard spaces at a Learning Disability Unit. Species had withstand rough treatment and offer no danger in case of ingestion.

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments and Appraisals (LVIA) evaluate the effect of a proposal upon the landscape. They consider visual effects (human view) and the landscape effects (occur regardless even if you can’t see them).

We used panoramic photography to directly show intervisibility of a straw buring power station. These views supported the written cumulative impact assessment.

2B's masterplan for a primary school provides a framework for an inspiring school setting and a landscape for learning.

Combining Calderdale Council’s aspirations with our assessment, we developed high level strategic masterplans aimed at guiding development and restoration work within Sowerby Bridge.

The next level master plan took the proposals to RIBA Stage 2, a more detailed, but still conceptual consideration of how the high-level ideas might be developed at particular sites.

Re-orientating the space to address the canal, as well as the main road, punctuated the linearity of the A58 corridor, and reclaimed pedestrian and cycle priority.

Concept sketches show how features like pedestrian crossings would work with different layouts.

A 'bare-earth' Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) for a mixed use development on Ashbourne Airfield in Derbyshire.

This project is part of a wider initiative spreading information to help us all understand how urban Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) can play a part in flood alleviation and how we can all do our bit.

The photomontage shows a deep cutting into the landscape for the road. The highway earthworks are softened with planting - this was indicative of ten year's growth on the highway verge.

Static photomontages can show a simple before-after effect. This photomontage is without the proposed wind turbines...

...and this is with the proposed wind turbines.

Following a rigorous competitve tender process, Better Barrow Community Group unanimously voted for 2B as their chosen design team. A series of workshops with the community helped to inform the design.

3D modelling, as used in this design, assists in the design process, helping understand and explain proposals. Rendering and use of shadows gives a very good impression of what the design proposal might look like.

Flintshire Council appointed Local Transport Projects to develop a cycleway. By using the plans provided, 2B created a simple line graphic to help explain and visualise how the cycleway would cross the busy road.

The aim was remove the vehicle-dominated environment, to create a space which would allow for flexible events use, and an animated, attractive, and user-friendly public realm on non-events days.

The draft proposal for Hebden Bridge Town Hall courtyard, diverting the downpipes around its edge into rain garden planters. The central space is left clear for events.

2B were appointed to help design and manage the installation of a heritage trail on Victoria Dock in Hull.3D drawings clearly explained the design intention to planners, consultees, contractor and clients.
