Our long term programme of plant-driven landscape design at Atelier Gardens has created a dynamic, restorative and magical new green spaces for people and wildlife.
Hugo Bugg
A transformational landscape strategy to radically re-green the historic BUFA film studios in Berlin, now a creative campus dedicated to social and environmental change.
In 2020, the six acre site was covered in concrete and six trees. Our strategy has since seen 125 trees and 25,000 plants introduced to support urban nature restoration and create a richly biodiverse place for people and wildlife. A third of the campus has been made surface permeable and/or planted. The concrete surfacing has been lifted and crushed on site, and reused entirely, preventing 900 tonnes of waste going to landfill. Phytoremediation of the soil sits at the heart of the planting design, and community engagement is flourishing.
Awarded the MIPIM Award for Best Urban Regeneration project 2023 and named Cultural Development of the Year by Monocle magazine in 2024.
In October 2024 Harris Bugg received an accolade for Best Commercial Design Project for work at Atelier Gardens Berlin.
