The Bothy

Approval for a stunning new home outside the settlement boundary.
Location: Avon Castle, Ringwood
Status: Planning
Use: Residential
Client: Private
This exceptional site at Avon Castle in Dorset had lasted untouched, sitting on a plateau with spectacular views across the Avon Valley. Outside of the settlement boundary, it had existed as an unused garden area for generations. SWA were commissioned to design a beautiful and organic modern home that would blend into its setting seamlessly.

Only an exemplar design with a strong design argument would allow any chance of consent.

SWA where commissioned to design a spectacular home for the family. It should make the most of the views, offer an exceptional home but meld into its setting.

Extensive use of stone and glass formed into a sculptural piece of architecture which capitalised on the natural topography of the site. With, a sedum roof which melds with the sites own natural land form, detail designs evolved and were submitted to LPA along with a robust urban design study to show that this site should be included within the settlement boundary. After assessment and consultations, our design was approved.
