Grey Street Rain Gardens

with Newcastle City Council & LDA Design

RASKL designed and fabricated bespoke steel edging planters for Newcastle upon Tyne's historic Grey Street. Working in collaboration with Newcastle City Council and LDA Design, we produced custom sections 1 meter steel panels with precisely folded edges to follow the contours of the slope and create a series of functional "rain gardens."

These innovative installations effectively manage street rainwater while enhancing the iconic streetscape. The planters are complemented by elegant stone and iroko timber benches, creating inviting public spaces. This project showcases local high-quality craftsmanship that respects and enhances Newcastle's architectural heritage.
