We are particularly proud to have worked with Tom and Je on this project and thrilled to have been awarded a Gold Medal for our work in bringing the garden to life and fulfilling designers vision.
The WaterAid garden explores the challenges presented by an ever-changing climate. It focuses on sustainable water management and features a colourful array of plant species designed to deal with varying amounts of rainfall.
The garden uses materials that are reclaimed and repurposed for a lighter carbon footprint. At the centre of the design is a rainwater-harvesting pavilion, inspired by WaterAid’s work with communities around the world to develop sustainable water solutions.
In it's new home, the Garden will help with the ongoing transformation of this historic steel viaduct into a beautiful sky garden in the heart of the city. Free to access all year round, the park celebrates the area's industrial heritage while providing vital green space.
The WaterAid Garden at Castlefield Viaduct will open to the public in 2025.
