Article Abstract:

UK landscape architects Derek Lovejoy have been involved from the beginning in a project to develop a luxury hotel and apartments on a London Docklands site.

The landscape architects are keen to establish a landscape which can be enjoyed for the view it provides, and which will withstand strong prevailing winds.
