AR Design Studio Receive Planning Permission for 'Ferry House'
Plans have been approved for 'Ferry House', a bespoke contemporary 4-bed family home by RIBA award winning architects AR Design Studio.
Set amongst a verdant backdrop and overlooking the River Avon, the site offered great potential with inspiration being taken from the natural topography of the site, the river and the long distance views. To the North-West across the floodplain, Salisbury Cathedral’s spire can be spotted and the South-West aspect affords a far reaching outlook across the water meadows and down the river.
These constraints orchestrated a multifaceted three winged approach to the design, with the house carefully positioned to respond to its site constraints. As such, the proposal sits seamlessly within the surrounding landscape and appears visually lost against the topography and wooded backdrop.
The design team worked closely to ensure the design aspirations were reflected in a carefully procured planning application, which gained praise from both the planning officer and locals;
‘The design looks sympathetic to fit in with the surrounding landscape and considerable thought has gone into the ecology and environment'
' … this building, it’s positioning and design can only enhance our neighbourhood'
'We need more creativity like this locally'
This has resulted in a one-off contemporary design which enhances the architectural distinctiveness of the area whilst blending into the verdant context, creating conditions for the building and its site to thrive in the future. AR are thrilled to receive the decision, the project moving one step closer to coming to life!
