Highways Road

Highways Road, Winchester, 2017-2025: The new house envelopes an existing post-war detached four bedroom house, providing accommodation for a large family of eight, with new entrance portal, double height entrance lobby and hallway leading through to a large family room with open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. Other spaces include a ground floor study, TV snug area, two staircases leading up to eight bedrooms and four bathrooms with a roof balcony to the rear.

Services included taking an initial design that had achieved planning permission and looking at re-designing the front of the house to create a simple contemporary face to the street. Internal spaces were to be simple, minimalist and robust for a large family with children aged four to twenty one. A number of options studies were carried out with a detailed 3D model to test and develop with the client the internal spaces to meet the client’s brief.
