This fantastic mixed-use scheme close to Oxford recently secured planning consent. The scheme involves the redevelopment of an existing commercial site to maximise its development potential with 2 new buildings providing 8 new open market apartments and a 3 storey commercial office building to re-locate and accommodate the existing business and landowner on the site. This is a really great example of how a site can be made more efficient to provide much needed housing and office space.

The architecture is simple and elegant, with soft tonal handmade bricks contrasting with the bronze coloured zinc wall and roof covering. Whilst having individual design cues to reflect their different uses, the architectural form and materials provide the 2 buildings with a coherent appearance and aesthetic.

This project was guided by Dawn Brodie MRTPI of Savills providing planning consultancy. The project team included SWJ Consulting Ltd. providing structural and civil, Cole Easdon for highways and Windrush Ecology.

We are looking forward this project moving forward to the technical stage.
