We were commissioned by the Nobu group to design a new pocket park on Willow Street in Shoreditch, to serve the hotel and surrounding area. Our proposal was to establish a belt of planting that could be enjoyed externally (from the park) as well as internally (from the hotel) while maintaining a degree of separation of uses. The public space beyond was to be a gravel garden encircled by an oak bench, though in the course of the works this element was modified.
