Neo Bankside

At NEO Bankside, we have created a stunning series of intricately detailed garden spaces around the footprint of four contemporary apartment pavilions designed by Roger Stirk Harbour + Partners, located close to the Tate Modern.

Inspired by the beauty of the countryside, the final landscape design incorporates soft plantings that are native to woodlands, which beautifully complement the modern architecture of the buildings. Private garden spaces blend seamlessly with tree-lined groves of alder and birch, creating a boundary to the new public realm.

Our landscape strategy defines the threshold between semi-private, private, and publicly accessible spaces, creating a strong sense of identity for the site. This is achieved using planted berms, pebble-lined moats, stone-lined cuttings, and narrow walkways.

The elegant and tranquil landscaped gardens feature a beehive, orchard fruit trees, and a herb garden, providing residents with opportunities to engage with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The introduction of groves also complements the existing planted language around Tate Modern, integrating the network of public spaces into the wider area.

With its diverse range of planting, NEO Bankside’s outdoor spaces provide a palpable connection with nature, providing a tranquil and uplifting experience for the public and a place of rest and retreat for residents. With its serene and calming atmosphere, NEO Bankside's outdoor spaces inspire a sense of peace and harmony within all who walk through them.
