A crafted performance space where landscape and architecture come together
Location Brighton, UK
Landscape spaces on three levels frame the iconic new theatre building and dovetail with its historic setting on the campus of the pioneering ‘UK School of the Decade’. Waves of naturalistic planting are set within a mosaic of handset stone paving and multi-stemmed ‘future trees’ chosen for a changing climate.
"The choice of brickwork combined with flint gave us both the robustness to withstand the coastal climate, but also brought in regional building traditions," explained Dieben and Vos.
