Manor Lodge

Location:

Gloucestershire, UK

Design concept:

Connecting the eastern and western aspects of this garden, an aquatic planted *corten steel water feature stands as a bold contemporary focal point for this wildlife retreat. From various viewing points, specimen plants and architectural elements are reflected on the water’s surface.

​

A grated steel walkway, positioned just below the water level, connects the formal garden areas to a wildflower meadow, offering unobstructed, long views along the water.

​

Grasses and wildflowers frame a paved seating area sheltered beneath a canvas canopy, enhancing the sense of wilderness and immersion. Mown paths through the meadow allow clients to enjoy leisurely walks around the entire garden.

*metal that forms a stable external layer of rust.
