KWA won, in 2004, the international competition to design the garden at the centre of the V&A Museum. The design is based on the traditional simplicity of a garden courtyard with the drama and flexibility of a stage set.
A simple central ellipse that creates a calm centre to the garden surrounded by Liquidambars, lawns, lemon trees and glass planters.
The stepped ellipse is picked out with jets of water and bands of light. The central space can be flooded to create a shallow reflecting pool, or filled with heavy fog for night lighting.
