IOTA’s Granite planters at Seaview Bay, Isle of Wight

Seaview Bay, Isle of Wight



Seaview Bay

is a water’s edge development on the northeast coast of the island, between Ryde and Bembridge. The development is built into a steep hill, around communal gardens connected via a series of terraces. A container planting scheme was required to soften large areas of hard landscaping, and to visually connect the terraces into a common theme.

Granite Cube 600 planters

comprise the heart of the scheme on each terrace, luxuriantly planted with Hebes. Additional Cube 600 planters >> , planted with Buxus, are centrally located on each terrace, to create a visual ‘spine’ carrying the eye from one terrace to the next, and out to the sea. Taper 800 planters >> create a sense of arrival at the main entrance, and Tall Square Planters >> are cleverly incorporated into stairway recesses.

IOTA’s planters

were recommended for the development by Indian Ocean >> which company had overall responsibility for the sourcing and supply for the development.
