The Range Rover Cloister
The story
Inspired by cloistered architecture, this contemporary sanctuary celebrates the debut of the Range Rover Electric. Sixteen Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) topiary columns, each three metres high, frame the square garden, creating a serene sense of enclosure that mirrors the interior experience of a Range Rover. The symmetrical arrangement of the columns aims to reflect the brand's attention to detail and geometric precision, while a bespoke stained timber backdrop evokes modern luxury in nature.
A stone-mallet pathway leads visitors into a multisensory experience, where the filigree texture of Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpureum' (bronze fennel) invites a gentle touch and the aromatic notes of Artemisia (wormwood) drift through the air. Two Amelanchier trees, rising to six metres, add height and structure.
In this intimate setting, the vehicle becomes part of the garden's narrative, highlighted by reflective water features and softened by delicate, pollinator-friendly planting. This interplay is also expressed through a palette of whites, creams, lilacs and purples complementing the car's Belgravia green.
Ultimately, the garden encourages the viewer to contemplate and to move with intention, evoking the cocooned calm and refined luxury at the heart of the Range Rover experience.
