New build house

A repeat client commissioned NWD Architects to obtain planning permission for a plot they had acquired. We navigated a tricky course through the planning process to obtain permission for a single storey dwelling on the site of disused agricultural buildings. 

Given the history of the site and its surrounding context, the building was designed to take on the appearance of a traditional Cheshire Brick Barn.

Careful consideration was given to the scale and configuration of the building, with the proposed openings and brickwork detailing being designed to replicate those than can be observed in traditional agricultural buildings.

The result is beautiful home in a fantastic setting that provides the best of traditional looks with modern living.
