The Look Out, Hyde Park, London

We have been commissioned by the Royal Parks Foundation to develop a landscape scheme for this exciting new educational facility in the heart of London's Hyde Park. Previously a 'look out' point for the Royal Parks Police, the small existing traditional building will be joined by a contemporary new structure, designed by David Morley Architects as a stimulating environment for visiting school groups. The building will also provide staff offices for the Royal Parks Foundation.

Our scheme is aimed at city children, providing them with an engaging ad fun setting for learning about the natural world. Dipping ponds, butterfly gardens, water harvesting, composting, habitats for birds and insect are all integrated into the rich existing layers of trees and shrubs. The project is due for implementation during 2010 ⁄ 11.
