Our last pre-Christmas project update – this exciting mixed used scheme close to Oxford has been submitted for planning approval. The scheme makes more efficient use of an existing commercial site, re-planning and organising the layout to provide a replacement office building along with a separate 9 unit apartment building. The scheme is finely balanced to meet the various planning requirements for amenity, parking, trees, ecology and Bio-diversity Net Gain, and a clear overall masterplan was developed in order to maximise the site’s development potential. 

The architecture is intended to be simple, yet elegant, using soft tonal brickwork and detailing, with the upper floors stepped back and clad in zinc. The two buildings are designed as a complimentary pair whilst having individual design cues to reflect their differing uses. 

The project has been expertly developed with collaboration with Savills, and Cole Easdon for civils and highways.
