It might seem obvious that the surface treatment of the ground indicates how the space is used or managed: illustrated here. The band of dark grey setts defines a boundary. The yellow-lined tarmac road and the concrete paving slabs in the foreground denote the public highway, the public domain. The rest of the space is private: a handsome path of blue clay pavers reserves and defines the route to residents' front doors. The contrasting material next to it (Bunter pebbles) signals two different functions: parking space for residents, and deterring access by anyone else. The wall in the background denotes the boundary of another private space: Warwick Castle.
