‘This is a building that is contemporary, vernacular, inventive, meaningful and yet simple’

NCA have recently submitted a new scheme for a one-off house on the outskirts of Henley in AONB.
The design intends to take inspiration from both the traditional farm building and the modern ‘humble’ new industrial buildings. With reference to both form and materials. The standard industrial farm buildings are articulated in a bespoke way to create a piece of contemporary contextual design.
The diagrams present the re-development concept. A historic boathouse, built circa 1900, is restored and repurposed within our proposals, preserving, and enhancing the existing context and local character. The existing boathouse is converted into 2 residential units with an additional 6 new contemporary houses. The massing, roofscape and fenestration of six new homes references the old boathouse in a sensitive but contemporary way, to create a strong identity for the overall scheme rooted in the local townscape, and wider riverside setting.
Director Amy had a great day at Modular Matters Conference in Birmingham! Great to listen to expert speakers discussing the latest developments and innovations in this sector.
Thanks to Imran Kassim, a good friend, who gave his insights on Net Zero in MMC.
