Integrating Nature & Art:

THE SANDHURST BLOCK

The once derelict army battalion regenerated to a home for fauna, flora and people alike

The intention through the designs is to celebrate Whitehill & Bordon and honour Mother Nature to help create a greener, vibrant and more peaceful future for this ‘town of tomorrow’.

The Sandhurst Block Art Installation was born through a desire to provide meaningful cultural and artistic impact during the regeneration process of Whitehill & Bordon Town Centre. The landmark Sandhurst Block is the last phase of the town centre development with a significant element of the building – the ‘H’ block at its heart – being retained due to its historical significance

The artwork wrapping the buildings wings takes most of its inspiration from observing Hogmoor and its many beautiful, unique qualities such as the native animal and plant species. The façades represent the beauty within Hampshire and its local animals such as the deer, owl, goats and many more. The living vertical green wall and artworks create a new urban green node and acts as a green pathway connecting the new local amenities such as the Mess hall, The Shed and to the surrounding Prince Phillip park and Woolmer forest.
