Exceptional offices set amongst 94 acres of landscaped parkland in Datchett Surrey.

Bought in 2020 by Kennedy Wilson the client, they set about refurbishing the offices, creating a 21st century contemporary office space which is flooded with natural light and has a triple height reception, restaurant, co-working space, feature amenity hub and town hall space.

Relaunched as Botanica the client brief was to design and install an interior planting scheme to reflect the Botanica name and the 94 acres of landscaped parkland
Planting a series of bespoke constructed wooden and tile clad planters, with integral seating the interior planting includes 26 varieties of plants from 30 cms up to 6m tall. 460 plants on 20 Dutch trollies in total were planted forming a green oasis throughout. In addition an artificial green wall was created for the temporary marketing suite and preserved moss was used for the dedicated entrance, exit to the park and lift lobbies. Everything was delivered and installed over one weekend.
