The client’s brief was to provide a high quality residential building within the heart of Sunbury, providing contemporary residential accommodation that is well suited to the local current and emerging residential market in Sunbury-on-Thames. The site itself does not sit within a conservation area but does occupy a small area in a larger residential band between two significant green belt areas to the east and west. The latter boasts sites of natural conservation importance and special scientific interest. The architectural approach is to deliver a timeless solution to this unique location and create a much improved use to an existing office building to attract future residents into the town and enhance the existing site and local residential community.
The architecture is sympathetic and respectful of its surroundings, yet contemporary in its execution. High standards of architectural detailing and sustainable design will be an intrinsic part of the design to create highly desirable homes.
