Guarnieri Architects has emerged as the winner of the highly contested RIBA Live Pitch 2013, seeing off competition from Dos Architects, Sarah Wigglesworth Architects and Mamou-Mani.
The project, Floating Waterline Gardens, responded to the brief set out by Argent seeking to retain and enhance the community Skip Garden on their King’s Cross site.
Our proposal focuses on improving the public realm and integrating the community garden facility with the Camley Street Natural Park. At the same time it improves the edge of the canal along the park with a floating system incorporating water-purifying planting.
We would like to thank Thomas Ermacora of Clear Village, who joined our team for this project, for his invaluable input.
