Shute House
It is hard to find a photo that best represents Geoffrey
Jellicoe ‘s work because a lot of his design was to force subconscious
reactions on people in his spaces. So, whilst I have not explored this garden
to be able to experience this, I can see how he has been successful in
achieving it. I am impressed how throughout this garden Jellicoe has used water
in a variety of ways to instil feelings and emotions in its visitors. I
particularly like how he has used small waterfalls each with copper shaped in different
ways to create different sounds as you walk through the space. Jellicoe has also
used hedging in the garden to create vistas as well as rooms each I feel have a
strong atmosphere. Looking around the garden it make obvious Gellicoe’s huge knowledge
of garden history that he has drawn upon as well as his use of philosophy.
