Garden of Solitude
RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival
Awards BRONZE MEDAL WINNER
Category Life Style Garden
Location Hampton Court, United Kingdom
Year 2021
Description In a flower meadow, shaded by the leafy foliage of two trees, the visitor can expect to see the key elements of the garden: eighteen pots in the shape of Ionic columns, with differing heights and arranged at irregular intervals along a circle of about six metres in diameter. Lush plants fall from these columns, while inside the circle is a chaise longue and a small basket. In the background is a wall coloured with the blue of the sky.
This intimate and protected area represents the theme of solitude intended as an ideal condition for the development of thought and imagination. The inspiration for the garden is the feeling of immersion in nature, as a form of pleasant isolation, made possible by a sense of landscape that we always try to introduce in every project, even on a small scale.
