The Landscape strategy sets out to provide a symbiotic relationship with Dixon Jones’ architecture and the business school ethic of education.
The school provided an opportunity to regenerate an abandoned quarter of Oxford, improve the railway forecourt and western gateway into the city and establish a quality urban realm.
Within the site, we had the constraints of working on and adjacent to an important area of archaeology, the first seat of Oxford learning, Cistercian Rewley Abbey.
We also needed to screen some dominant housing which overlooked the site.
