The images below are for the design of a contemporary residential development of 17 new houses and apartments on a highly unusual site near the centre of Salisbury that has just been submitted for planning. The site includes an existing institutional Victorian building, which is being converted into 3 town houses as part of the development. The grounds of the building are extensive and back on to the River Avon. Part of this land, including a thin strip by the waters edge, is being given over to the new housing.
Although the existing buildings were not Listed they are part of a conservation area and were judged to be heritage assets so care has gone into the alterations and new build elements to preserve their special character. In addition, the constraints of the site and sensitive ecology of the riverside location have further informed the design and site layout.
