A special home that might offer a retreat and sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Redbridge Manor was formerly the site of a manorial home. With the legacy of a walled garden and remnants of the past, the site had already received a new principal home.

Sat as a apart of this remodel sat a lake, the lake, acting in part toward the SUDs solution for the total holding, it had been beautifully landscaped. SWA were contacted by the owner, himself a long-standing client of the practice, to design a special home that might offer a retreat and sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Arboricultural constraints, potential for flood waters created some constraints but, as is often the case, a constraint simply presents an opportunity.

A design evolved and with initial designs sketched. The building should be delicate, transparent and simple in its form, appearing to float and be a part of its landscape and the lake.

It should be easy to build and be modular, with a simple frame onto micro bore piles and capable of off-site manufacture. It should achieve high levels of thermal efficiency and present options for renewables.

Given such an exciting list of needs and wit a client who himself had exceptional tastes and a desire for a truly outstanding home, SWA finalised designs.

Submitted and now consented with no amendment needed at all, Redbridge Manor is now progressing to build phase. We will keep you posted!
