英国伦敦 - NEO Bankside / Gillespies
这个位于伦敦豪华公寓的园林景观设计屡获殊荣。其创作的灵感来自于大自然,内部
丰富有趣的景观与公寓交相辉映,达到柔美自然同精美建筑及现代设计的完美平衡。
这座优雅宁静的花园毗邻泰特美术馆,白天向公众开放,为大家提供一个安全私密的
宁静场所。设计师Stephen Richards充分认识到外部空间对改善城市生活质量的作
用,在城市中心创作出了一片全新的绿色空间。这里有自然的林地---桦木林和桤木
林。林地里种植着各种各样的原生植物,还额外的提供了蜂箱和鸟笼,鼓励物种多样
性,让蜜蜂帮忙授粉,保障植物物种繁衍。此外果树园和药草园让居民参与管理花
园,并享受药草的芬芳。树林提供阴影,成为屏障。内部多样化的空间和种植为居民
带来闹中取静的安然生活。
景观设计师研究建筑形成的阴影,还有风向,巧妙的配置植物,让花园形成四季皆可
观的美丽场所。这个公共的宁静居民花园在公共与私人的界限之间立足于一个完美的
点。景观设计一开始就介入其中,成为不可缺少的融合剂。
花园中共有四栋年代和风格迥异的建筑,其中包括城市救济院。所有的停车空间都被
安排在地下,因此这个花园是一个屋顶花园。设计的挑战之一就是土壤深度,种植面
积,树木配置还有灌溉系统等等软质景观综合问题。庭院内的原生植物将成为植物银
行,他们的种子将繁衍出更多的原生植物,这里充分鼓励多样性和野生动物生活空
间,采用雨水收集和灌溉。美丽的植物景观提供了舒适的微气候还有温馨的空间。这
个景观具有基于本地化,针对气候进行生物多样化的理念。
Gillespies creates award-winning landscape inspired by nature
at London’s NEO Bankside
Paralleling the opening of London’s luxury NEO Bankside development next to the Tate
Modern is the unveiling of a new city-centre green landscape.
At NEO Bankside, Gillespies has created a series of richly-detailed garden spaces
around the footprint of the apartment pavilions, designed by architects RSHP. The final
landscape features soft planting inspired by native woodlands, balancing beautifully
with the contemporary lines of the buildings. Unusually in the heart of a city, the outdoor
spaces offer NEO Bankside’s residents opportunities to engage with nature, and
create a new micro-ecological environment in this established urban setting.
The elegant and peaceful landscaped gardens integrate NEO Bankside with the
neighbouring Tate Modern and its surroundings, and provide public access during the
day as well as a secure, private environment for residents to enjoy.
Stephen Richards, Partner at Gillespies who led the landscape design comments:
“Greater awareness of the value of nature in cities, and the benefits it brings to our
quality of life has led to a new approach to exterior space design for city-centre
residential schemes.
At NEO Bankside, Gillespies has designed a series of innovative green spaces that
spearhead this movement. The completed designs take cues from natural woodlands
and glades, and transpose them to the city. The layout contains large tracts of native
plants set within groves of alder and birch trees, providing a ‘bank’ of flowers, seeds
and nesting material that will encourage a range of wildlife to the space. Beehives
have also been installed, enabling pollination of the plants and helping to safeguard this
threatened species.
An orchard of fruiting trees and a herb garden give residents access to produce,
encouraging active participation in the management of the gardens. The colour and
fragrance of the herb garden adds to sensory delight of the garden areas.
Large forest trees shading cool lawns give residents peaceful spaces in which to
withdraw from the world outside. With its diverse and rich range of planting, NEO
Bankside’s outdoor spaces uplift the senses, and give residents an opportunity to rest,
recreate and retreat from city life.”
