Addleshaw Goddard: Flourish in the City
The story
The garden celebrates the hidden gemstones of London - its gardens and pocket-sized oases that quietly stitch the city together, offering sanctuary, freedom and community amid the urban rush. Inspired by London's status as the first National Park City, the garden blends natural forms and materials to reflect the city's heritage.
The garden invites visitors to reconnect with nature in the heart of the city and features a strong ratio of green and blue environmental elements, set amongst quintessential materials such as Portland stone and copper. Water features are a nod to London's hidden rivers. The garden also references the emerging #humanise movement, led by London-based designer Thomas Heatherwick, encapsulating joy, generosity, and imaginative design.
The garden will be relocated to Baston House School, a specialist educational provider in Bromley for autistic children and young people. The garden will serve as a safe, enriching space that supports their educational experience and provides a calming, therapeutic environment.
