public realm

Waterman Boreham has successfully undertaken the design and delivery of many high profile public realm projects for both public and private sector clients.

our approach

Working in partnership with our clients and other professionals, we provide insightful input to masterplanning, urban design and development for public domain regeneration. Typically this includes all forms of public open spaces and streets together with open areas between or adjacent to buildings in city centres, town centres, district centres, shopping centres and squares.

Improvements in the local environment bring substantial benefits to inhabitants and, by investing in the time to understand our clients’ specific needs and expectations, we can deliver these improvements while adding value to schemes on behalf of our clients.

proactive and practical

With our commitment to producing a scheme that is economically deliverable with a creative approach and strong vision, we successfully integrate street networks and open spaces, while accommodating people and movement.

Waterman Boreham provides a comprehensive one-stop service for the transportation and engineering input into schemes from feasibility studies through to implementation and includes supervision of the work across the public and private sector.

It is also our experience that the interests of our clients are best served when we also assume the role of lead consultant from post-RIBA stage D, through to detailed design drawings, and including tender supervision on site.

Throughout the process, Waterman Boreham works closely with local highway authorities to agree the design and specification for pavements, street lighting, street furniture and public art.

“An extremely well thought through and implemented scheme. It has achieved impressive reduction in speed."
