Jury comment

The Arkadia Apartments project illustrates the role the garden can play in connecting residents to their place, its history and, importantly, to each other. The landscape architecture practice has shown great thought leadership in the design and realization of a productive, human-centric, high-performing garden in high-density urban living – a fantastic asset for the residents and the surrounding neighbourhood. The high-quality, environmentally sensitive materials and exceptional planting palette demonstrate the value and contribution of such highperforming private spaces to the overall dialogue of landscape architecture.
