Description

This Martinborough project is built around a group of pavilion style buildings and includes a pool, tennis court and sheltered outdoor entertaining areas. The design needed to respond to
both the idyllic parkland setting as well as the extremely windy environment of Martinborough Estate.

The simple, linear planting picks up on both the landscape setting, the architectural style of the Accent Architects pavilions.

The pool is located on the north side of the house and is sheltered by the guest pavilion. A simple courtyard connects the pool area to the main house, while low planting allows uninterrupted views to the surrounding landscape.

Light grey concrete and gravel provide a contrast to the monochromatic green of the landscape and the black of the built forms.
