Our plans are for the redevelopment of a former egg packing unit in rural Hertfordshire. The proposals are for 26 dwellings and 4 light industrial work units. There is a good mix of affordable and private homes with 30% being allocated to housing associations. Our goal was to provide a benchmark low carbon sustainable community with a balance of social, economic and ecological living. Features include a mix of Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and 5, home offices, bio-diverse landscaping, fruit and nut bearing trees, SUDS drainage and allotment facilities for all residents. A critical planning and conservation issue was to ensure the architectural form contributed to the prevailing Chiltern vernacular.

Planning submission has been made for our PPS7 country house in Gloucestershire. The ‘innovative nature’ of the new house is an organic expression of its context, formal requirement and environmental performance – it is an ‘isolated new house’ that has an ‘evolved’ form – a unique piece of rural architecture that is harmoniously at balance with its surrounding landscape and ecology. It continues and enhances the strong regional vernacular tradition without resorting to pastiche.
