LANDSCAPE TO BE REPLANTED.
In designed parks and gardens, one’s experience of the landscape was often shaped
by concealing views across the landscape or of landscape features. These are then
revealed as one moves through the landscape.
Views - the development has been laid out to preserve, strengthen and frame views
both north to south towards the wider countryside as well as east to west between
proposed courtyard spaces.
Views east to west are via broad cut throughs under the central building.

The landscape has been designed to maximise usable space across what is a steeply
sloping site. A series of courtyards between buildings will provide mown amenity lawns
and seating spaces framed and defined by new planting. Each of these spaces will
include an element of discovery i.e features that are ‘revealed’ to the viewer only when
one enters the space.
Planting seeks to reflect the site’s transitional nature between the campus and wider
countryside. As such, planting will become more native and informal in its appearance
as one moves towards the site’s boundaries.
