“‘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 across the courtyard. Declan oversaw the project and the planting design.
Leading up to the main courtyard there had been a steep winding lane flanked by low cottages that were converted into housing. I developed a landscape scheme that joined all ascending floor levels with a more easily navigable stepped ramp made of stone and historic cobbles.
