Facebook At Kings Cross
Facebook has acquired over 600,000 sq ft of office space across three buildings at King’s Cross which is located at the Western Yards of the King’s Cross estate. Willerby Landscapes has been chosen as the landscaper of choice for the 42,000 sq ft of landscaped roof gardens and terraces for buildings T2 & T3 which will become known as 11-21 Canal Reach.
T2 will be 12 storeys high at its highest point at the southern end of the site, stepping down to nine storeys towards the north. Free of mechanical plant, the roof will just accommodate gardens and planted terraces, creating a place for receptions, meetings or simply to enjoy the excellent views across Central London. The current programme was for us to be on site in February/March 2020, however the Initial Subcontractor Health and Safety Meeting took place early February and then came along Covid-19 and Lockdown, so activity is a little behind but we mustering the team to commence work within the safety guidelines.

New Google HQ
Willerby Landscapes secure the hard and soft landscaping contract for the installation of landscape architects Gillespies, BIG and Heatherwick Studio's design for the new Google London HQ. The roof garden will comprise of 4,000m2 of green space with the planting of over 230 container grown trees and 55,000 shrubs and perennials.
During the tender process for the contract we were presented with the client's Four Big Challenges. 1) Safe and healthy workforce, 2) Taking delivery to the next level, 3) Reducing our environmental footprint and 4) Healthy and productive workplace of the future. We embraced these challenges and put forward our innovative ideas for Taking delivery to the next level and Reducing our environmental footprint.
We accomplished two of these challenges by developing a re-usable lifting bag for all materials to the roof which will reduce our environmental footprint. Additionally we have developed a bespoke App for mobiles and tablets so that our suppliers and operatives can monitor and check suitability of the bags before each lift thus taking delivery and safety to the next level.
