Cirencester

For the Bathurst Estate and Harper Crewe, this is the first phase of the major urban extension of Cirencester being planned to the south of the historic Cotswold Market town.

Our practice was selected to design the scheme after a limited invited competition. We proposed a language of simple, contemporary vernacular design that relates to the similar project that we developed at Roussillon Park, Chichester.

The scheme contains a large variety of houses and a village green at its heart, with a strong emphasis on sustainable construction and a palette of local natural materials.  Construction commenced in 2022.

Kingston Farm, Bradford-on-Avon

We have been working on the masterplan of this beautiful site on the edge of Bradford-on-Avon since 2011, and the project completed in 2020.

The site has two distinct character areas, one rather more vernacular, with a series of stone and rendered houses constructed around a village green and along adjacent narrow lanes. To the west, the site is more expansive with long views across a valley, and here we have developed a more classical Georgian character, with terraced houses built in stone. Some of the houses have deep cast iron verandas.

A stone-built apartment block draws on the character of industrial buildings in Bradford-on-Avon and faces the commercial sites that are part of the overall masterplan.

Fawley Waterside

Fawley Waterside represents one of the most extraordinary sites in the south of England, located on the edge of Southampton Water and the Solent, on the site of the former Fawley Power Station.

Working initially with Leon Krier as masterplanner, and with Kim Wilkie the landscape architect, we developed a proposal over many years for a vibrant new ‘merchant city’ at this spectacular location which will combine marine industries with a high-density urban fabric mixing apartments and townhouses.  Outline planning approval has been granted and work is ongoing to bring forward the first phases of development over the course of 2023-24.
