Horwood Hall Pattern + Texture Landscape Design L D N A A C S A Landscape Rich in Pattern & Texture PE In designed parks and gardens, patterns were used within the landscape as an accent to spark interest. The majority of patterns employed geometric designs such as parterre gardens or through symmetrical planting along promenades for example. Textures were used far more subtly. Textures often denoted points of arrival such as the use of gravel driveways as one entered the estate. Flowing geometry - wide sweeping routes through Horwood Hall seek to lead people through the landscape whilst linking them to the Hub. The Hub itself straddles one of these routes. A stair and lift within The Hub enable pedestrians to move freely along this route whilst also negotiating a change in level.

This pattern will be used at key junctions, building entrances or as focal points within the landscape. The landscape will use materials with different textures such as paving, boardwalks, gravel etc, in order to subtly help people orientate themselves. These textures will also help to differentiate between a route to and from The Hub, or a link between the Heart of the Campus and the Development Zone, for example.
