Project Update: School Masterplan
Designscape have teamed up with Greenhalgh Landscape Architecture to deliver a Vision Document and Masterplan for the future of Westonbirt Schools.
We’re hiring
We are currently seeking an ambitious and talented Project Architect with at least 5 years post qualification experience to join our busy studio in Bath to work on a wide variety of high quality projects – residential, education and commercial buildings, often including listed buildings and sensitive settings.
The Cowshed – Planning Approval
We are delighted to have obtained Planning Approval for a new home in Bradford-on-Avon, positioned within the conservation area and situated adjacent to a Grade II Registered Park and Garden.
2020 in review
It seems fitting to review 2020 a couple of months into 2021, but despite it being a challenging year all round, Designscape have still worked on some great projects – from attaining new and exciting clients, to seeing a number of projects progress onsite. A collection of these are summarised below.
Priory Close – Planning Approval
The existing house is very much a product of its age – subdivided into disconnected small, boxy rooms. Our design reconnects these spaces, creating larger, functional rooms which are less constrained. A double height extension is proposed to the east, which allows both the central kitchen and the new lounge to enjoy the spectacular views over the garden.
Westland Farm – Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent
We are delighted to have obtained Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent for an extension to a Grade II listed house in Wiltshire.
The proposal includes the demolition of the C20th conservatory to make way for a new glazed extension, accommodating a new kitchen and day room which seamlessly links to the adjacent garden.
