Ferry House Shortlisted for British Homes Awards

The studio are delighted to announce Ferry House has been shortlisted for House of the Year at the Home Building and Renovating 2024 awards. 

Thank you to all those who have contributed to the project, and most importantly our client. The final result is a beauty! 

AR was approached back in 2019 to design a contemporary home on this waterfront site. Once home to a ferryman who ferried walkers across the river, the site slopes steeply down to banks of the River Avon that meanders along the sites western boundary. Across the river are far reaching views over the Salisbury flood plains with the spire of Salisbury cathedral in the distance. Swans swim the river, cows graze the flood plains and kites soar overhead.

The team's aspirations were to create a home that nestled into the site, using passive design principles to inform the sitting, plan, geometry and fabric. Working with these unique opportunities has resulted in a compelling home that sits amongst this stunning ever changing landscape.
