Project Detached house in conservation area

Location Old Tennis Court, Fatfield House, Washington

Cost N/A

Description The challenge was to design a family home within a conservation area and adjacent to the listed fatfield house. The solution was a split-level, modern 500sq.m house constructed using traditional materials, designed to sympathetically respond to its surroundings. With a grade 2 listed building adjacent, the levels were used to keep the height of the building lower than the surrounding buildings. The imaginative design creates the impression of a one and a half storey building whilst maintaining living accommodation over three storeys. A sedum roof was incorporated to reduce the impact of the footprint on the existing site. Planning Reference – 08/01452/FUL
