Brown Hart Gardens is an elevated public square over a Grade II listed substation, located in the heart of Mayfair, London. Furnitubes designers worked closely with the project team at BDP Landscape Architects to develop over sixty bespoke seating and planter units for the site. Three basic design modules were supplied – elegant heavy duty fixed seats for the perimeter of the site, and planters and benches for the central deck area which could be moved around to allow the space to be adaptable for a variety of events. The site has created a beautiful and flexible space that has proven to be extremely popular with residents, visitors and workers of the city.
