New landform designed by Kim Wilkie for landscape at Boughton House , Northamptonshire. Boughton is one of the greatest formal landscapes of England. Kim’s design takes the form of an inverted grass pyramid sunk seven metres below the level of the surrounding formal gardens. Descending a gently sloping grass path to a square pool, the sounds of the outside world become strangely muffled and the water reflects the sky, even on an overcast summer day. The inverted pyramid echoes the form of the early eighteenth century mount nearby, an Orphean Hades to complement the Olympian Mount.
