This is the initial concept work for a proposed Chelsea Flower Show garden in collaboration with Studio Huw.
We were working on ideas of bringing the outside in: looking at Japanese inbetween spaces where moss and spreading ground cover enter the living space. The living area in this case was to represent a new residential development in East London called Wardian.
The name Wardian originates from the Wardian case, a compact wood and glass portable construction made to transport newly identified plant species from across the globe back to England. As a response to the brief we wanted to create something exotic but with an overriding feeling of this gentle relationship between the world inside and the world outside - which is part of the concept for the overall development in Canary Wharf.
