Bibury Stud, Bibury Gloucestershire
Redevelopment and conversion of former barns, stables and kennels of historic stud farm to provide seven luxury houses. The special character of this conservation area site was to be preserved and enhanced, whilst meeting modern needs for vehicular access and parking. Use of gravel and cobbles for vehicular surfaces combined with planting designed with a soft informal character have helped avoid vehicular access becoming over dominant in the appearance of the finished scheme. Extensive use has been made of grasses and herbaceous plants that will colonise the gravel areas, blurring the boundaries between garden and circulation spaces.
