Greenways - New House - September 2018

Greenways is new single storey house, sited in the large rear garden of an early C20th house in Combe Down, Bath. It is organised in two wings. These are arranged to create a semi enclosed south facing garden to the rear. Habitable rooms face into the garden avoiding overlooking neighbours. The external walls are faced with split faced, long format concrete bricks. These reflect the rectilinear character of the building as a whole.

Park Cottage - New House

On site progress, installing the Zollinger roof. This new family home is a replacement dwelling in the Greenbelt, replacing an unremarkable series of existing buildings which occupied a prominent corner in the village Conservation area. The lamella or ‘Zollinger’ roof is a vaulted roof made up of simple, single, standard timber segments prefabricated in a grid as a way to span large spaces. Once complete the rhomboid pattern, oak structure will be left exposed and on view from the main living space of the house below, adding character and materiality to the room.

Madam's Paddock - New Build

Fly-through visualisation of the approved planning design. Located in the Green-belt within the village of Chew Magna, planning approval for this replacement dwelling was won at appeal. The radial layout, with its centre point defined by a large oak tree on the site boundary allows different parts of the house to relate specifically to various character areas of the garden: The house is lifted out of the ground on the masonry radial walls, allowing floodwater to flow beneath the house and keeping the ground floor clear of the predicted flood levels.
