Gardens here
Mix of older village properties, Victorian seaside terraces (the Netley Hospital area), and modern infill housing. Strong horticultural heritage thanks to the Royal Victoria Country Park — many gardens here have been worked over decades and have established mature planting.
Working the area
Fifteen to twenty minutes from the studio. Familiar territory.
Material decisions
Traditional-leaning palettes often suit the village fabric — reclaimed brick, sandstone, oak structures, planting that sits well alongside what's already mature on site. Newer streets accept a wider material range.
In practice
The studio archive doesn't yet feature a Netley project. The traditional-palette work in Bottom-of-garden patio, Fareham 2025 is the closest reference for how the studio handles established-plot briefs.
