The Sycamores, 1927

In the map below, taken from a 1929, Herbert purchased the Sycamores (pictured above) after nun's had moved to Farnbrough Hill. He wanted to build a "miniature garden city" in the south section of the The Sycamores estate. The L-shaped road eventually become Hilder Gardens in the 60s.

Making the first mark

Hilder Gardens, Farnborough, completed between the 1940-1970's

Bel-Hasa Anthony Pools 1980-1990

BAPC was formed on April 7, 1980 as a partnership designing and constructing complex pools and water features between Nigel Finzi, Herbert Henry Hilder, and Dr Ahmed Saif Belhasa.

First big moves.

1981 saw the establishment of a branch office in Abu Dhabi and almost immediately the company’s first million-dirham contract was signed for the mechanical and electrical works for an Olympic-sized pool at a private sports club in Al Ain.

Expansions

The year 1983 brought more public exposure with the construction of a lion enclosure at Al Ain Zoo and the gunite construction of the landmark ornamental fort in Hatta. In 1984, BAPC made its first foray overseas and secured its first million-dollar contract in Doha, Qatar. The QR4 million ($1.1 million) hard landscaping contract involved construction of artificial rockwork, waterfalls and lakes for a palace project.

Royal Recognision

November 1988 saw the company take its expertise into Saudi Arabia with the construction of eight gunite tent structures for the Janadriya Heritage village near Riyadh, which reinforced the company’s reputation as a specialist for ornate structures and enjoyed nationwide coverage in the Saudi media as it was opened by King Abdullah ibn Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The project was supervised by Aquascapes general manager, Malay Shah, who had then newly-joined the company as engineer.

Final Project's Abroad, 1990's

The same year also saw the company successfully bidding for the iconic Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Wild Wadi. The creation of three separate swimming pools, water features and slides, landscaping and full MEP services for the Jumeirah Beach Hotel represented the largest and most complex project BAPC had ever undertaken.

By this point Howard Henry Hilder and Nigel Hilder are well established at BAPC.
