The first major overview of the UK's leading garden designer, Tom Stuart-Smith

'The garden can be a place where the sense of otherness, of nature and of place is so strong that we have a powerful awareness of being, not masters of all we survey, but players in a greater drama … What I am doing as a designer is setting a process in motion, as it were pushing a boat out into the water' Tom Stuart-Smith

Landscape architect and garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith began his own practice in London in 1998. Known for deftly combining naturalism with modernity, and built forms with romantic planting, Stuart-Smith has designed gardens, parks and landscapes in Europe, India, Morocco, the United States and the Caribbean. With clients such as the Royal Horticultural Society, the Royal Academy of Arts and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, he has established himself as one of the UK’s leading landscape designers, with an international reputation for making gardens that respond to their wider landscape setting.

Featuring twenty-four of Stuart-Smith’s projects from around the world, Tom Stuart-Smith: Drawn from the Land is the first major overview of his career, with a critical introduction and essays by leading garden writer Tim Richardson. Two essays by the designer himself reveal his influences and methods, his thoughts about gardens and gardening, and how he approaches his projects. Drawing is an important part of Stuart-Smith’s work, and each garden is illustrated with an overview drawing as well as spectacular commissioned photography. Descriptive texts place each project in context and explain how the features and planting come together to create rich and multi-layered landscapes. An illustrated chronology of Stuart-Smith’s works to date completes this survey.

Offering unique insights into landscape design and planting, this book will provide inspiration and ideas for garden-lovers and professionals, opening up imaginative possibilities for designing spaces from the smallest to the grandest.

The fascinating story of one of the most beautiful historical villas of Lake Como, its exceptional renovation, and the excellence of Italian and French craftsmanship.

Situated on the verdant slopes of Blevio, an ancient Italian hill town, Villa Cagni Troubetzkoy commands sweeping vistas on Lake Como. With a vibrant history spanning more than 175 years, it once provided sanctuary to an exiled Russian prince, and today stands as a beautifully preserved family home, epitomizing the luxury of the Italian lakes.

Pascal Cagni, the current owner, is a globe-trotter passionate about design and architecture who amassed invaluable experiences on his extensive travels. His immersion in diverse cultures instilled him with profound clarity about his vision for restoring the villa to its former glory, with respect for Italy’s architectural patrimony, in harmony with the environment, and integrating local culture and history. With Italy’s top craftsmen at the helm, the villa was meticulously restored with traditional materials, achieving a perfect blend of past and present. Today, it stands as a testament to heritage preservation and Italian elegance; its gardens are a symbol of timeless refinement against Lake Como’s eternal allure and worldly exuberance.
