Program: Public Garden
Together with Heatherwick Studio and The Woolbeding Charity, we have designed a garden that evokes a diverse range of natural environments found along the historical Silk Road.
The aim is to create an immersive experience of these different habitats, not simply by planting the same plants in the gardens, but by interpreting the environments that have been used as inspirational references through the design of new topographies , plateaus and rock formations.
Specifically, I’ve worked on the hardscape design and detail from RIBA Work Stage 3 to Stage 5. S These included the Ha-ha wall design and elevation, the footpath along the public garden and slate path in the Heatherwick designed glasshouse. Construction has just started on site.
