Description of the project RHS Garden Wisley
Officially opened by HM the Queen in June 2007, the £8.5m glasshouse features a series of green designs that saw it win the Heritage and Environment Award for New Building Design.
The construction project called for a purpose-built solution to collect, store and re-use rainwater – which would ordinarily have been lost into the drainage system – to meet the irrigation needs of the greenhouse’s array of plants.
The building was built using state-of-the-art technological advances in structural design, with high-strength, curved tempered glass used to maximise light transmission and thermal efficiency.
