The house and surgery at Sandsend occupies a prominent corner site with commanding views of the sea and eastwards towards Whitby Abbey. The proposals have been developed around two guiding principles; a community surgery that is accessible for all local residents and a family home that responds to the fantastic views.
The land was the garden of our client's former house and is within the Conservation Area of Helmsley and North York Moors National Park (NYMNP). Typically, the houses along the main street would have been long thin burgage plots, and to reflect this nature, the house was designed as two linear buildings running north-south to reflect these plots.
The project involved the conversion and extension to a C19 barn listed through association with an adjoining dwelling. The barn had seen successive changes over time, and this proposal was a continuation of earlier approved schemes, which aimed to restore the original elements of the building through removal of later additions.
This new family home in Harrogate is clearly a distinctive and contemporary design. As with all such proposals, it will, and has, raised issues of subjective taste. Recommended for approval by Harrogate Council, the scheme was refused by committee, but won on appeal. The Planning Inspector praised the unique and contemporary design, stating that the modern design would make a positive contribution to the area.
We were invited by an architect and his wife to design a replacement dwelling. They had inherited a 1950's family home adjoining one of the cities conservation areas and wished to replace it with a new home respecting this context and more significantly the archaeological importance of the site. When constructed, the original house plot had been subject to an archaeological dig, revealing a number of Roman burials.
