AN ENGLISH GARDEN

Who can ever look at an English garden and accuse this island race of being reserved? This gentle passion which quietly undulates the land creating soft and magical spaces filled with light and scent, has long been the envy of the world, courting sighs and covetous glances.

Our unique climate at once both the enemy and friend of the gardener provides an ever-changing palette that can range from a subtle vista of green to shockwaves of colour but always bearing that ethereal quality that can be found nowhere else.

This particular year has seen the worst of weather evolving into that most rare and coveted of things - an English summer. Where else could one be on these most balmy and fragrant of evenings but in an English garden.

 

 

 

 

 

HUMIDORS

The Humidor, Wellesley Hotel

The popularity of cigar smoking has never been greater and is gaining momentum with a strong following of cigar aficionados searching for the ultimate smoking venue. Whilst Luxury hotels search for new unique selling points to enhance their brands, it appears that humidors and smoking terraces may well become essential additions for luxury hotel brands.

The requirement of exacting environmental conditions to preserve the cigars is as important as the actual collection. With cigars such as limited edition Behikes to vintage Havana's being highly sought after by collectors, the return on investment is substantial and provide real added value if designed with the correct knowledge and implementation.

Following on from Fox Linton Associates’ recent involvement and design of the largest hotel humidor, located within The Wellesley, London. We have put together a collection of images that inspired our design narrative and to celebrate the new dawn of the humidor.
