Robert Myers designs in an elegant, timeless manner, inspired by the characteristics of materials and plants, of history and place. His work draws inspiration from both the architectural and natural world.
"My key motivation in the design of Cancer Research UK's garden is the theme of 'impact', reflecting the huge progress the charity has made and continues to make in the fight to beat cancer.
I wanted it to be a playful garden, where free-form walls, water, stone and plants combine to create an elegant, sculptural composition. It's a garden of illusion, where a stone sculpture seems to set waves rippling across the surface of an oval pool, which continue through the paved surfaces of the garden.
I hope this garden lifts the spirits and encourages visitors to consider how people are having a real impact on cancer."
