Harris Bugg Studio’s Eco-Terrazzo wins Surface Design Award
February 2025

The pioneering eco-terrazzo, prototyped and developed exclusively for the sustainable, adaptive show garden made for Horatio’s Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, was created from ultra-low-carbon green concrete and unusable crushed waste materials destined for landfill. The result: a surface with a 77% reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional cement – the equivalent of 14 return flights from London to Barcelona.
When polished, the recycled materials are transformed into a striking terrazzo finish, combining beautiful aesthetics, robust functionality, and addressing the need for eco-conscious materials in urban design. Read more about the award-winning garden here.
