Two dwellings, Little Rissington, Gloucestershire
The designs provided two modern family homes, with large, opening plan kitchens, dining and family rooms, and a separate formal living room, complimented by a ground floor study/home office space and utility room for all the white goods, an important design feature when considering open plan living. On the first floor, the design included four bedrooms, one master with a large en-suite and dressing room, and three further generous bedrooms, one being en-suite and with a large family bathroom.
The dwellings sit harmoniously within the village and the immediate neighbouring properties. Plot one, being of traditional scale and form, was designed to resemble a traditional cottage, while plot two has been designed to have more of a barn aesthetic. Both have all the benefits of being modern, low-energy homes.
We worked on the project up to RIBA Stage 4. Working closely with the Developer, we created architectural designs and prepared a robust package of information for the planning application, completing RIBA Stages 1-3. Then, working with the Structural Engineer and Energy Assessor, we created a detailed technical design package used during the construction phase to ensure a smooth and efficient build.
