Project Details

Location London
Client FM Conway
Landscape Architect
Product Pergolas
Sector Public Realm
Completion Date June 2021

The planters have been utilised to extend the available outdoor space for restaurants on the street. The freestanding units have been positioned in parking bays in front of the buildings that create enclosed dining areas to encourage business for the hospitality sector during the pandemic as well as a wider goal to reduce car use and fuel emissions within the centre of the city.

The minimal design of Inspira provides a canvas to introduce colour and nature to the urban realm. The plants offer a number of environmental benefits such as air purification by reducing CO2 from car exhausts. They also provide a barrier from winds and vehicle noise as well as reduced visibility from onlookers for those dining.

The planters are part of a project to rejuvenate the area and have assisted the businesses to get through the difficulties the past year has presented with lockdown restrictions limiting customers to dine outside only.

Elizabeth Street is a luxurious retail and restaurant location in the heart of Belgravia in London. The Belgravia neighbourhood is composed of more than 300 niche boutiques and businesses. Located beside stylish Chelsea and vibrant Victoria, a unique part of central London that has retained its village ambience.
