Urban Oasis Installation and Garden
Urban Oasis is an award-winning environmental installation.
The 12-metre high kinetic structure mimics the design of a growing flower. It is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with photovoltaic petals which open in response to the sun, utilizing light to generate power. Supplemented power from a hydrogen fuel cell and wind turbine, and the use of harvested rainwater for irrigation and cooling, make it self-sufficient.
At night the entire structure is transformed into a light sculpture. It was a self-funded R&D project that has travelled around Europe as an educational installation. It has been sited in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Cannes, and formed the central feature of a gold medal-winning show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
