‘Robert Myers and his team demonstrated a thoughtful and passionate approach to Clandon Park, with a clear understanding of the significance of the house and landscape, and a commitment to honour its history and archaeology,’ said Project Curator, Sophie Chessum
‘The strength of their experience in creating sensitive designs within significant historic landscapes is evident in their work at The Magic Garden at Hampton Court Palace and at Rockingham Castle in Leicestershire, among others. We’re delighted to have them on board.’
This appointment is the first major project that RMA has undertaken with the National Trust. In the coming months, we’ll explore design ideas with both Allies and Morrison and RMA.
Robert Myers said: ‘We believe Clandon’s story can be brought to life by creating a contemporary garden which resonates with, and echoes, its historic antecedents, but does not seek to replicate them. We are honoured to be part of this next step in Clandon’s future.’
