Sir Humphrey Repton, an English landscape architect in the 1700's, whose design philosophy focused on the natural beauty of rolling green pastoral spaces versus the formal English gardens, was the inspiration behind the lush grounds of Gore Place, which is only a green field away from Repton Place. Repton's European designs of broad lawns, open fields, ponds, and gardens, radiate the oasis of green space of Repton Place. The rolling fields and his picturesque gardens are a tribute to his undeniable talent and are the inspiration for the open space design direction of Repton Place.
