Comments |
“Any renovation within The Royal Parks must preserve the Parks’ central themes of personal space and ecology. For the replacement of the Cake House with Inn the Park in St. James’s Park, we wanted a practical and visual approach which allowed us to continue the park up and over the top of the building in one seamless curve. With Buckingham Palace as the backdrop, Inn the Park’s outer shell had to harmonise with its surrounds completely. Bauder’s green roof solution fitted our criteria exactly and provides the public with an aesthetically intriguing feature that allows them to walk onto the roof and café terrace without leaving the essential atmosphere of the Park behind”.
