Garden House, Devon

I visited the Garden House as part of a trip with the Botanical Society before visiting the Lost Gardens of Heligan the next day. We visited on the day of the kings coronation and therefore the site was closed to the public, however, as we pre-booked they let us visit. 

The Garden House was such a beautiful space with various different garden spaces, each with a different theme or style. We spoke to Chloe, a gardener who works on site, who told us of the history of the site as well as some plants that looked particularly special at this time of year. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would love to visit the at a different time of the year to see the seasonal changes.

Alney Island Visualisations

  These are several visualisations drawn on Photoshop for a conceptual design of Alney Island. These 4 visualisation show different areas of the Proposed Design. The concept behind the design is based from Starling murmurations. These collective displays contain hundreds of thousands of individual birds to create this amazing arial spectacle that can be seen dancing across the evening sky in Autumn. This collaborative coming together of individuals is the intention for the Alney Island site. With individuals coming together on site to form a collective for communication, recreation and relaxation.

Castlemeads development

Image
This is my latest sketch design for Castlemeads. (Ignore the doodling!) My design has developed into a space that will be predominately wildflower meadows which aim to attract insects to the area. The vegetation buffer alongside the road will contain plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife, particularly birds. My next step is to develop the pathways and walking routes through the site before I take it into CAD to be drawn and then rendered.

Walking down the Honeybourne Line

Image
 I regularly walk down the Honeybourne Line in Cheltenham as I head to and from the train station. Specifically the section between the station and the Churchill Gardens. As the year change the walk through the space changes as the plants lose and regain their leaves. When walking back today in the sun, the space looked the best I have seen it. Hemlock, Horse chestnut and nettle were all in full swing creating a bold green wall.
