In 2018 the studio was invited to reimagine the Walled Garden at Raby Castle, with the aim of reflecting its rich history, to create an environment charged with atmosphere and a renewed sense of place and purpose.

Lying on a gentle, southwards-facing slope, north of the castle, the existing Walled Garden is compartmentalised into three distinct spaces, each with its own uses and characteristics. In conjunction with surviving iconic features – including the yew hedges and Raby fig – and listed structures, this configuration underlies a new tripartite vision, comprising a productive garden, a formal garden and a pleasure garden. A series of framed views between the different territories of the garden, the castle and the surrounding landscape becomes the means to articulate the dynamic nature of the overall composition.
