Design Excellence awarded

The ProCon Leicestershire Awards are the county’s biggest celebration for projects designed and constructed in the built environment.  The 19th Annual 2022 ProCon Awards were announced at the ceremony in November 2022 at The King Power Stadium, Leicester.

The awards bestow recognition on schemes across size and sector from a number of residential and non-residential projects as well as regeneration and infrastructure schemes – and Keary Design Associates are the Landscape Architects for two of this year’s Award Winners: Wyggeston Hospital and The Old Mill, Great Glen.

Wyggeston Hospital

Landscape Design for Large Residential Scheme of the Year Winner

Working with Corporate Architecture, Keary Design were part of the delivery team on the winning project at Wyggeston Hospital on Hinckley Road. Keary Design were responsible for the plan and landscape design of the surrounding gardens and open space on site.  The scheme, completed in January 2022 to a contract value of £4.75M, saw a new administrative building and housing added to the existing extra-care accommodation.

The newly landscaped gardens, parking areas and surrounding facilities have opened up beautifully designed and inclusive spaces to allow residents to fully enjoy the outdoor areas.

The Keary Design team will be returning to the site in the Spring as the plants and landscape begins to mature and will update with the latest images for both of their ProCon Award Winners 2022.

The Old Mill, Great Glen

Landscape Design for Medium Residential Scheme of the Year Winner

Alongside the main contractor PC Building Services and architect Corporate Architecture, Keary Design created the soft landscaping concept, plan and planting palette for The Old Mill, a six-house residential development in Great Glen.  Winner of the ProCon Award 2022 in the Medium Residential Scheme of the Year, this new hamlet’s landscape is rich in plant palette and its design maintains the local character. It also accommodated a complex topography that was remodelled to alleviate any potential flood risk.
