The current site will be split into two plots, with the new build’s modern take on Arts & Crafts architecture remaining sympathetic to the existing house. We drew inspiration from characteristics of surrounding properties and incorporated our own interpretation of this era’s methodology, such as brickwork details, gable ends, and a careful selection of Crittall style doors and windows. These traditional features are cleverly integrated and modernised, and this fusion of traditional shape with less conventional materials bridges the existing house’s design to the proposed modern take on Arts & Crafts. An alternative interpretation of this genre of architecture can also be seen in our Spring Grove project.

The new build is modestly sized and has been designed to the same width as the existing two-storey building, matching the current property’s visual impact when viewed from the street. Only glimpses of the proposal will be seen from Church Lane, meaning that the distinctive architecture can only be fully appreciated when within the grounds.
