Iconic C20 Landscapes - Broadwater Park
The landscape setting, designed by Preben Jakobsen in the early 1980s, was for offices and a distribution warehouse for the National Water Council. Involved from the outset, Jakobsen was able to influence managing the contaminated land. The design includes an earthwork terrace framed by a circular hedge, a secret garden for the staff and car parking. Jakobsen developed a niche role designing high quality and distinctive landscapes for commercial companies, and a number of these projects were with Bill Pack of EPR. Karen Fitzsimon, landscape architect, garden historian and horticulturalist, will explain this project, his considered selection and style of planting and how this project fits into Jakobsen’s oeuvre.
