SGD Awards 2024, The Landmark Hotel, London

We are thrilled to announce that on Friday 2nd February 2024, our ‘Treetop Garden’ won two awards at the Society of Gardener Designers Awards 2024 Ceremony, The Landmark Hotel, London.

The garden won the highly coveted ‘The People’s Choice Award’, sponsored by The English Garden Magazine- the only award to be determined by public vote. It also won the Society of Garden Designers (SGD) Award for ‘Small Residential Landscapes & Gardens’.

The inspiration for the sunken, cantilevered deck which extends over the edge of a steep escarpment within the garden’s curtilage, was sparked by the client’s love of the Rocky Mountains. The garden design and its geometry were based on the silhouette of the peaks of the Rockies - taken vertically and transposed horizontally within the space.

The greatest challenge of the project came from the topography of the site. The five-to-six-metre vertical escarpment commanded a large area of the clients’ modest, family garden. ‘The Floating Deck’ was designed to utilise this redundant area of the garden, transforming it into a private, immersive, entertaining and relaxation zone for the clients, their family and friends to enjoy. In addition to this, the local authority had designated the escarpment as an area of ‘high biodiversity interest’. Together with the construction expertise of JJH Landscapes, we found creative ways to complete the hard landscaping required in the project away from these areas of high biodiversity, ensuring its future sustainability, whilst equally respecting the legal planning requirements of the project.

SGD Judges' Comments:

‘A lovely scheme demonstrating great skill in designing within a limited flat space at the top of a very steep site. A well-considered palette of materials, meticulously executed construction detailing and a superb level of finish. A really good piece of design.’
