Education centre by Sense Architects

The Grange Project is an 80-acre rewilding initiative in rural Monmouthshire, established in 2023. Their mission is to harness the power of wilder nature to educate, inspire, and connect people—whether through immersive away days or engaging social media storytelling.

Once an arable farm, the land is now being returned to nature through rewilding. By stepping back and allowing natural processes to lead the way, we’re helping biodiversity flourish and restoring vital ecosystems.

To support this work, Sense Architects have transformed a dilapidated steel-framed barn into a vibrant education centre. This new hub offers a welcoming meeting space for visiting groups, as well as facilities for guests staying in the eco-pods across the site. Designed with nature in mind, the building makes the most of its central position, with panoramic views, abundant natural light, and fresh ventilation—creating a calm, inspiring environment at the heart of the project.
