We're so delighted to win the
@aila_national award for excellence for Greyleigh Estate in the gardens category in colab with
@eslandarch . A dream team!
The Jury citation reads:
'The Greyleigh project masterfully blends European history and endemic natural planting. It creates a contemporary venue that accentuates both the built form and the landscape. The design team’s approach layers storytelling with contemporary functionality, reimagining the farming landscape as a regenerative space that honours the site’s abundant history. The garden’s planting palette and native species regeneration are clever from a sustainability perspective, embedding culture into design materials, restoring natural systems and enhancing biodiversity. The garden’s existing features have been seamlessly integrated with new details, and the accommodation of a dynamic event space has stimulated the local economy. This carefully crafted project respects the site’s heritage, while providing a vibrant venue that foregrounds material reuse and the revival of lost plant species'
Thanks
