Award-Winning Garden Design in West London.

Best Professional UK Landscape Award

Studio 29 Architects was awarded by Gardenista for their stunning design of a small garden in Holland Park, inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa. This compact courtyard garden was transformed into a vibrant oasis through the thoughtful selection of warm colour backdrops and the incorporation of lush, large-leaved plants. The design not only showcases aesthetic appeal but also provides functional benefits, such as shade and privacy from neighbouring terraces.

The judges praised Studio 29's ability to maximise the potential of the small space by employing strategic design elements, including:

  • Vibrant Colors: Warm color backdrops that add depth and visual interest

  • Clever Spatial Arrangements: Thoughtful placement of plants and hardscaping to create a sense of depth

  • Strategic Planting: Large-leaved and fronded plants that provide shade, texture, create interest and make for an exotic backdrop from the house.

The garden's design seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a harmonious extension of the room that leads onto it. Key features of the garden include:

  • Slate Paving and Steps: A material that improves when wet from rainfall, perfect for London weather!

  • Green Wall System: Adding a lush, verdant element to a limited but high space.

  • African-Inspired Furniture: Colourful telephone wire chairs that complement the exotic planting scheme and add fun to what began as a very serious space.

The award-winning design showcases Studio 29 Architects' expertise in merging architecture with interior design and landscape architecture, demonstrating their ability to create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces that reflect clients' individuality and lifestyle.
