Jellicoe Gardens, the latest creation by award-winning landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith, is now open in Kings Cross, London. The gardens are inspired by the great garden of Bagh-e Fin, in Kashan, Iran with sunlight, shade, shadows and water coming together to create a place of calm, comfort and quiet reflection. Tom notes “it’s such an interesting project. For a start we had two clients, both with a lot of experience of making public spaces. One, the Aga Khan Development Network wanting something very specific, while the other, Argent, wanting something more general.” Hanif Kara, representing the Aga Khan Development Network comments: “Through these green spaces – six in the Aga Khan Centre, two in nearby Victoria Hall, the fountains in Lewis Cubitt Square, and now Jellicoe Gardens – visitors to King’s Cross can gain new insights about the diversity of Islamic landscape design originating from different geographic regions and see their contributions to garden design around the world.”
