Mizzi Studio’s architectural kiosk series within London’s Royal Parks offer coffee, nature-inspired design and all-round public realm enhancement
The latest kiosk at Buckingham Gate
Mizzi Studio has completed a series of architectural kiosks within London’s Royal Parks, with its latest structure unveil near Buckingham Palace. The brass tubular food and coffee kiosk is the latest in a family of fluid, nature-inspired designs that the studio’s founder, Jonathan Mizzi, embarked on in 2017. With the final piece to the puzzle ticked off, and restrictions lifting in the British capital, there’s no better time to go and explore.
Mizzi Studio has completed its most significant commission in London to date, culminating with the installation of a brass tubular kiosk at the foot of Buckingham Palace.
The four-year-long commission by artisan brand Colicci, saw nine handcrafted kiosks replacing ageing refreshment kiosks across The Royal Parks, as well as the development of a coffee house near the Serpentine lake. The kiosks’ installation roll-out began in October 2018, with the final kiosk erected on site at St James’s Park this month.
The kiosks have been built on existing sites across Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park. The most recently-erected structure, the flagship Horseshoe Bend kiosk in St James’s Park, is clad in tubular brass and mirrors the ornate precious metals of the nearby Sir Thomas Brock’s Queen Victoria Memorial.
