2 new characterful townhouses.
Bordon had already undergone large redevelopment, as a part of The Whitehill & Bordon’s Regeneration plan.
The local planning authority felt, however, that what had so far been built had diluted local identity and had failed to reinforce the Hampshire vernacular.
They wanted a new architecture and design input that created a characterful and invested place, that recognised Bordon’s special part and setting.
Scott Worsfold Associates were selected to act as lead architects and urban designers, to evolve new designs that would offer a sense of place that had a clear synergy with local identity.
Arboricultural constraints and evidence of early military activity needed research and investigation. With many constraints but with a clear design brief for an exemplary design, our first task was to create a design presentation to the members and key staff of East Hants District Council, to show how a design logic might be applied which met their aspirations, without poor pastiche.
With total support, our work started. This would include a design code for other phases and for other applicants, who could evolve their own parts of the town’s regeneration.
With regular design team meetings and the allocation of a senior planning officer to work solely on this important part of the town’s evolution, our work concluded.
Now consented, and being built, we look forward to updating our page with photos very soon.
