Kensington Palace Sunken Garden
Irrigation works for redesigned Sunken Garden and statue adjacent to the Grade I-listed Baroque Orangery.
Skelly & Couch have been involved in several projects at the Orangery on the site of the Grade I-listed Royal Residence Kensington Palace, which dates back to the 17th century.
The latest project covers new irrigation and services design for the Sunken Garden, where a statue honouring Diana, Princess of Wales has been unveiled by her sons Prince William and Prince Harry.
Our work included:
-
Identification and strip-out of redundant services within the garden, some dating back to the garden’s original construction
-
Design of a new automatic and fully compliant water top-up system to the pond. This senses the pond’s water level and feeds water to the pond when it drops below the set level.
-
External lighting design to light the statue
-
All services within the garden are below ground and fully hidden from view.
