NORTON ST PHILIP
MIXED-USE MASTERPLAN
SOMERSET

This project was undertaken in conjunction with Robert Adam at Adam Architecture. It is conceived as an extension to an existing award-winning development designed by them that lies to the south of the historic village.

​

The proposed development is formed in three distinct areas. The west site includes a community building and twenty-two houses arranged along a lane and around a village green.  The east site includes eleven affordable cottages centred on a small green.  The south site comprises five detached houses fronting on to new parkland.  Each aims to respond to its landscape context and improve connectivity to existing and proposed facilities.

​

The buildings and streetscape look to the traditional detailing and materials found within the village.  Walls are formed in local stone or stone-coloured render.  Roofs are covered in natural slate or clay double Roman tiles.
