Our design for the front and rear gardens of this modern contemporary house squeezed into a tough site next to a Eurostar railway viaduct, in South London. The design reflects it’s gritty urban setting with enduring hard finishes which are softened with carefully sited soft landscape elements bringing relief to the hard urban form of the rear garden.  The great height of the viaduct wall has been successfully screened with a vigorous green wall whose seasonal colours bring year round interest and colour.
One Centaur Street, designed by deRijke Marsh Morgan, took the overall prize in competition with eighteen other award- winning buildings to take the London Building of the Year Award 2003.
