I. CONCEPT
The meadow design focuses on introducing strong structural elements within the site to create a more layered composition. These interventions will provide privacy and screening while helping to break up the open space and create a sense of enclosure that complements the existing trees.
II. MATERIALS
The material palette was kept deliberately minimal and raw, taking cues from the surrounding English landscape and the downland beyond. Reclaimed brick from an old outbuilding on the site will be reused within the garden, carrying its age, weathering and imperfections into the new scheme. Reclaimed York stone was introduced in the same spirit, with individual stepping stones set through the lawn rather than forming heavy, continuous paths. This allowed the hard landscaping to begin to merge with the softer landscape around it, blurring edges and creating a more natural transition. The aim was for the materials to feel as though they belonged to the site already, sitting naturally within the landscape and continuing to soften and settle over time.
