Our design for a new development of individual homes is derived out of a thorough understanding of its place, one where buildings carefully knit themselves into their surroundings with the feeling of having been there for some time.
A study of edges to understand how a varied relationship of road, curb, fencing, garden walls, planting, trees and buildings come together to create a visually pleasing local vernacular.
The site conditions have informed each building type, from a cluster of steeply pitched brick terraced houses to a low lying courtyard dwelling centred around a walled garden. These unique arrangements provide privacy to future residents whilst also taking advantage of openings that encourage natural light. Each cluster aims to provide carefully considered, well designed and adaptable homes, all constructed from long lasting, quality materials.
Rather than a formulaic housing development, the proposal seeks to create a lasting piece of village fabric.
Proposed Site Plan
A conscious effort has been made to avoid the, at times, formulaic approach to housing, with the intention of generating a scheme that has a value as a collective, not simply as individual houses.
