“‘I have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Miles on landscape design projects both here in the UK and in Lithuania. His design and technical contributions to the schemes were both fresh in their approach and meticulous in their execution’.”
Declan Buckley asked me to assist in the landscape design of a series of courtyards within a complex of former religious buildings in the heart of the Old Town of Vilnius Lithuania. Studio Seilern were the architects of this award winning project. My concept, in response to the site geometry and the client brief of a green oasis, was a “green carpet” carved through with paths draped across the courtyard. Declan oversaw the project and did the planting design.
Leading up to the main courtyard there had been a steep winding lane flanked by low cottages which were converted into housing. I developed a landscape scheme that married in with all ascending floor levels with a more easily navigable stepped ramp made of a sensitive combination of smooth stone and historic cobbles.
