The Glade of Light – a place of tranquillity and a celebration of life. A collaboration with BCA Landscape. It was an honour to be chosen to help the bereaved families realise this memorial garden. The design ideas and thoughts behind The Glade of Light come from a place of heart-felt respect and deep sympathy. Central to the space is a floating marble halo, inset in bronze with the names of the 22 concertgoers that lost their lives in the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. We believe this design is about, and for, people. Not a fixed thing on a plan, but an ever-changing, living and shifting series of moments.

Our wish for this garden is that it will allow everyone to linger in these moments and search for stillness.
