577 fake landscapes 200cm oriental bamboo run

Very arty angle! This is in the West End, with one of those dismal views out of the back that you so often get there. These are custom made narrow planters, and the bamboo goes to over 2m. The picture’s wonky because we left the wide-angle lens at the office… 577

576 fake landscapes 220cm fine leaf pool bamboo in basket

Like terracotta, we don’t see enough nice baskets. These were quite a size, maybe 60cm across and the ceiling was 2.8m, so we made them look lush and full. The place wasn’t finished when we installed, so one would hope there’s a mural or mirror on that large blank wall now! 576

575 Fake Landscapes Paddington bamboo part 2

Back to showing off! Paddington Basin, I think, and it must have been a 40m run. We spent a long time playing with the heights of the trunks and the density so it looked like it was doing better in some places than others. The bloke on the right seems to prefer a chair to the bean-bags, though. 575

574 fake landascapes 90cm high balcony screening bamboo in 90x20x18 planters and slate surfacing

A more human scale for this one – these are our narrow (only 18cm deep) planters on a glazed balcony with lightly planted 1m fine leaf bamboo – so you lose the minimum of floor space. Again, easy to see out - but plenty of privacy if you wanted to wear a kilt. 574

573 fake landscapes bamboos 10m vodafone hq

Ok, here come the giant ones! Vodafone HQ, they’re 11m tall and the brief was that people would look out at greenery from all the floors. They came in to the building horizontally and it took eight of us to get them upright! As an idea of scale, there’s a person on the sofa lower right, and that’s part of a Formula One car… 573

572 Fake Landscapes 190cm oriental bamboo and matt planters

A stylish balcony run of individual bamboo in tapered planters, the idea being to break the view without losing too much light. You can see out but they can’t see in. Whoever ‘they’ may be… 572

571 fake landscapes Harrods restaurant terrace bamboo

Another terrace, this time the restaurant on the 5th floor at Harrods. The bamboo are only 90cm tall and are actually between two sheets of safety glass. We had to slide them in from one end, like diabolical Lego! There’s marram grass in-between the troughs, as well. 571

570 bamboo white city wip Wed

Ok, just showing off! Here’s a mix of the usual roof terrace suspects, olives, rosemary, marram grass – plus three really chunky groups of bamboo, double density to work as a wind break. 570

548 marram on a bleak day in SW11

High up in Battersea somewhere on a grey day, another envelope planter with decent height to lose the neighbours. With frosted glass, apparently, it’s their shadows that are most disturbing! 548

547 fake landscapes marram grass in clients curved planter

A curved steel planter to match the sweep of the stucco – very neat, and again a lot of attention to detail from designer and client. We had to cut the stems of all the marram as it was so shallow, took ages - which resulted in grumpy elves… 547
