ElevationsAmbience

Mediterranean climate results in a blurring of inside/outside space – hence the terrace becomes an external room to be reclaimed.

a c y t o u r b a n I t y

Terrace structure serves as a deep façade, increasing shade and sense of solidity and hence permanence / timelessness of structure.

The larger scale play allows for flats to acquire individual identities.

Larger frames within the scheme provide a ‘macro’ level of relationships – a musical theme between the blocks.

This provides room for more subtle richness at the individual block level.

LANDSCAPING PROPOSAL.

The site is located on the prow of a hill in Madliena, an outstanding rural environment with a limited sprawl of development whilst the building complex itself, is surrounded by a reasonable large area with a neighbouring fort.

The proposals aim to return the disturbed landscape of the site back into a setting, which blends and merges with the immediate natural surroundings whilst providing an enhanced foothold for the location of a new building with a low profile.

In this landscaping proposal two zones, which are indicated on the attached plans can be clearly distinguished as follows:

A) The Architectural Landscaping:

The central zone within the site that embraces the building complex, and

B) The Contextual Landscaping:

These landscaped areas skirt the site and each relate immediately and directly to the countryside that they border.

Note:

For both zones the species that dictate this landscape proposal have been taken from the Guidelines on Trees, Shrubs and Plants for Planting and Landscaping in the Maltese Islands (1999), Environmental Management Unit Planning Directorate.

Plant species H W IN GS FS Cinnamomum camphora (CAMPHOR TREE) A delight to the eye in every season. Winter foliage is shiny yellow green. In early spring new foliage may be pink, red, or bronze, depending on tree. Beautiful in rain when trunks look black. Clusters of tiny, fragrant small yellow flowers in profusion in May, followed by small blackish fruits. (E).

17 15 O S 2

Eucaliptus ficifolia (RED FLOWERING GUM) Bark red and stringy to grey and fibrous. Spectacular 1 ft clusters of flowers in cream, light pink, salmon, orange or light red (most common). (E). (Note: prune off seed capsules from young trees so they won’t pull branches down).

13 10 D F A

Metrosiderus excelsus (NEW ZEALAND CHRISTMAS TREE) Leaves firm, leathery, on young plants are smooth, glossy green, on alder plants dark green above, white and woolly underneath. Dark scarlet flowers, in big clusters, covering ends of branches. (E). (Note: requires careful staking and pruning to bring into tree form)

Appendix B: Reservoir volume calculation

RESERVOIR VOLUME CALCULATION.

Due to weather conditions of Malta, the importance of preserving the water resources of the island and the important role played by the landscaped areas in every development, it is strongly recommended to provide a reservoir, which could satisfy the irrigation needs of the landscaped area of the development without resorting to external sources to provide water.

The landscaped area marked in the plan V31 – MMA – P016 is approximately 540 m2.

The Reservoir Volume is the result of multiplying the landscaped area by the annual average water deficit.

Water deficit (l/m2) = [Rainfall (l/m2) – ETP (l/m2)]/ Irrigation efficiency

Rainfall (data from 30 years)

ETP has been calculated by the Thornwaite/Blaney-Criddle method (data from 30 years).

To calculate the water deficit an irrigation efficiency of 0.9 has been considered, provide there is a correct and intelligent handling of the irrigation system.

Volume of the reservoir required for landscaped area. 509,267 (l/m2) x 540 (m2) + 15% Volume for clearance = 317 m3
