Designed by Dan Pearson OBE

A thoughtfully crafted landscape, reflecting the distinct character of the South Downs, provides a unique setting for the art and a space for quiet contemplation. Through its innovative design and planting, it will offer visitors 24 seasonal moments to enjoy, part of a subtly shifting environment that will throw new light on the artworks as the year passes.
