@initiatearchitecture: Site model for a new house in a Conservation Area 🏠 This model is about to be used as a key part of pre-application conversations with the local authority to discuss the potential for a new dwelling in a sensitive historic site. The site is highly sensitive: - it’s in a Conservation Area - it abuts the boundary of a Grade I Listed Medieval Church - it’s less than 100 metres from a Grade I Listed Castle - it’s within an Archaeologically Sensitive Area This is an example of a site where a physical model is invaluable in communicating the scale, mass and form of a new building amongst an existing setting. The house is designed to take the existing stone boundary walls of the church and site as a valued found condition, adding a lightweight agriculturally inspired building upon them as a reference to the local and longstanding development pattern of building onto boundary walls. Detailed discussions to be held later this month… Happy weekend everyone! #modelmaking #architecturemodel #architecture #conservationarea
