LUC wins Landscape Institute Award for AELTC Wimbledon Park

LUC won the Excellence in Masterplanning and Urban Design Award at the 2025 Landscape Institute Awards.

The award honours our work on the AELTC Wimbledon Park project and celebrates our commitment to landscape-led design.

The judges praised the project for balancing environment, heritage and community needs with a world-class sporting venue.

They called it an exemplar for the redevelopment of golf courses and a strong model for landscape-led masterplanning.

Our masterplan restores a historic landscape, opens new public parkland, and creates spaces that blend sport, nature and community use.

We focused on heritage, climate resilience and biodiversity to shape a landscape that supports people and wildlife.

The building's exterior is covered in a green wall of vegetation, supported by a striking pattern of light brown, diagonal wooden structural elements that resemble large intersecting branches. A curved, paved pathway cuts through the foreground, which is lined with lush grass and mature trees on both sides. Several small groups of adults and children are visible along the path and in the grassy area, suggesting a public space. The sky is partly cloudy and blue.

Jennette Emery-Wallis, Director of Landscape Architecture at LUC, said:

"Working on this project has been a privilege. Our team aimed to bring heritage, nature and world-class sport together in a single landscape. This award celebrates that shared ambition and the care invested in every step."

Andy Wayro, Senior Landscape and Environment Manager at AELTC, commented:

"We are delighted to see the Wimbledon Park Project recognised with this award. Our vision has always been to create a landscape that celebrates heritage while delivering lasting benefits for both the local community and The Championships.

"This achievement reflects the collaborative effort to shape a space where nature, people and world-class tennis can thrive together. We can’t wait to realise the benefits of this transformation, once work can start, in the near future."

We also reached the finals in three other categories. These projects did not win, but we still value the recognition and thank our teams and partners for their hard work.

We congratulate all shortlisted organisations and look forward to another year of creative and ambitious landscape work.
