EVOLUTION. NOT REVOLUTION.

An approved principle, reconsidered.

Planning approval secured for a replacement dwelling in an exceptionally sensitive historic environment, associated with a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The challenge was not simply to design a different house.

It was to reconsider the siting, layout, scale, form and architectural character of an already approved dwelling, while retaining the established planning principle.

Our approach centred on Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act, seeking approval for amendments through a variation of the existing planning conditions.

177 days in planning.

SECTION 73 APPROVED.

The siting evolved.
The layout evolved.
The architecture evolved.
The planning strategy remained.

Sometimes the most valuable part of design is understanding how to move an existing approval forward.

AT THE BOARD | 001

Back at the drawing board.

A new barn project, developed with Oakwrights, following a successful pre-application process.

We’re now refining the final design before moving into the production of the planning drawings.

Today it’s all about elevation profiling, proportions and retaining the simplicity of the original barn concept.

A little insight into how I work, how the drawings evolve and how design decisions are made.

No fancy production. Just me, a pencil, pens and the drawing board.

Our second build, completed in 2017-2018.

A replacement dwelling within a rural Conservation Area, adjacent to Grade II listed buildings. A sensitive setting that demanded a careful response.

Designed and taken through planning by PJT Design. Project managed by PJT Custom Build, working alongside Oakwrights.

Natural materials, local vernacular and attention to the details that make a building belong.

Nearly ten years later, I still think this one stands up rather well.

I’ve spent most of my working life doing this, and I’m still fascinated by the process.

An idea. A line on paper. A conversation. A building.

I think it’s a good place to be.

After client meetings bring tweaks and refinements, I normally record these visually as an over-sketch as well as notes. This is a suburban replacement dwelling in a Conservation Area and Green Belt. We have agreed the scheme in principle with the local authority through formal pre-application dialogue.

ELEVATION
CREATION

I carry many houses in my head. They eventually become ghost lines on tracing and may stay like that for days and sometimes weeks. And then a moment will inspire me to complete the elevations. Always a very satisfying and rewarding phase of architectural design.

Have a good and creative day.

From tracing paper to the front cover.

A suburban infill plot in Hertfordshire, an existing 1950s house, and an opportunity to think again.

I found the original design sketches for this one in the archive recently. Plans, sections, elevations, tracing paper everywhere… all part of developing a replacement dwelling in collaboration with Oakwrights.

Years later, the finished house made the front cover of Build It magazine.

Always good to go back and see where a built project actually started. ✏️🏡
