Horwood Hub Views

Horwood Hall incorporates an expression of strong patterns and layered
geometry. This is captured in the building and landscape setting, expressed
through a combination of light and heavy materials. The hub can be experienced
as a series of layered spaces along a key pedestrian route through the site. This
route is celebrated by strong references to pattern which link the texture of the
landscape to the geometry of the façade.
