SO31 · The Hamble

Bursledon. On the Hamble.

The riverside village, boating community, mix of older waterfront properties and newer suburban housing. Coastal-adjacent climate, good light.

Gardens here

Riverside village, mix of older waterfront properties (some with mooring access) and characterful village core, with modern infill housing. Some salt exposure on the river side; sheltered conditions further inland. Generally well-drained ground over gravel.

Working the area

Five to ten minutes from the studio. Regular work in the broader Bursledon / Lower Swanwick / Old Bursledon area.

Material decisions

Full studio palette. Waterfront-facing gardens benefit from some attention to coastal specification — vitrified porcelain over softer stone, marine-grade stainless, salt-tolerant planting on south-facing aspects.

In practice

The studio archive doesn't yet feature a Bursledon project, but the area is on the doorstep. Full hardscape, Warsash 2025 is fifteen minutes away by road, less if you happen to have a boat.
