National Trust - Gibside

Gibside is a stunning 18th-century Georgian landscape garden on a spectacular scale. With its valley views, winding paths, spectacular ruins and refreshing open spaces, Gibside is both a haven for nature and a literal breath of fresh air for us humans.  

For a cold winters day Gibside was surprisingly full. Everything from photographers, to ramblers, to people escaping the city, there was no shortage of people within the target market found wandering around the grounds. The most surprising sight was seeing a group of about 10 mothers pushing their babies around in the middle of a forest.

Recently I have been hearing a lot of skilled professionals talk about how experience is the best kind of research and today has proved that for me. It was a valuable insight into the kind of services and offers that are put in place by the National Trust and what kind of people use them. With this information we can now begin the design phase and start skecthing potential idea concepts.
