The Owl sits in the Sussex village of Kingsfold, a traditional country pub with over 115 years of history, popular with locals, walkers and visitors to the surrounding countryside now thoughtfully enhance.
Case Study
The Owl
Overview
The Owl was refreshed inside and out, strengthening its character while improving how the spaces work throughout the day. The layout was gently rebalanced to support drinking, dining and quieter moments, creating a relaxed and sociable pub.
Permaculture
Window and fixed seating make better use of awkward edges, turning underused areas into places people naturally gather. Existing furniture was retained alongside reclaimed and locally sourced pieces, with a planted terrace strengthening the connection to the surrounding landscape.
Impact
The addition of a terrace has extended capacity and introduced a stronger outdoor offer during warmer months. A well used, confident pub that supports both everyday visits and longer stays.
