The Inner Dancer

The Inner Dancer

Designed by Inbud

 Inspired by the life of legendary dance choreographer and director, Dame Gillian Lynne. Bugle House, a unique specialist educational provision of Great Oaks School, caters for vulnerable young individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) that have endured adverse childhood traumas.

The design is symbolic of life’s journey, laid out in a radial format. The labyrinth, underpinned by a large cylindrical structure is symbolic of the school’s ethos to help their aspiring students find their path in life, their inner dancer. Featuring a carpet of native flora, synonymous with the New Forest and South Downs National Park. A slatted structure, offering windows within gives way to a series of communal and secluded spaces. The garden is a place to learn, play, unwind and thrive.
