The Landscaped Area

The landscaped area is intended to provide a sympathetic and aesthetically appropriate setting for the proposed shelter.

Areas of natural infill on the site are removed to re-reveal selected areas of the underlying Lewissian Gneiss substrata on either side of the wooden bridge. This, and additional material from the island is utilised to contour the drawing of the mound as it meets the white walled corridor and to form the transition between man made structure and natural landscape. In removing material, its intended that the existing wave-eroded and revealed rock strata of the shoreline becomes conceptually and visually connected to the site. The natural shoreline with its combination of revealed rock strata, earthed and grassed contours, provides a habitat for the development of fauna and flora and wildlife of the island. Through natural seeding and induced colonisation, replication is sought in the newly exposed and built up areas of the site.
