Project Brief

In January 2017, following 6 months of constructive dialogue with South Hams District Council, we secured planning consent for a new build 3 storey, 4-bedroom house on the outskirts of Totnes in Devon.

Project Detail

The building replaces 3 run down garage is located on a technically challenging sloping site which overlooks a local park and woodland.

The proposed building is unashamedly modern and will, we hope prompt the much-needed regeneration of the site.

The scheme offers a defensive 2 – storey entrance façade of modest scale which integrates with the adjacent properties.

The more private rear façade is 3 stories with extensive glazing and views into the woodland and park beyond.

The stepped plan works with the sloping site and leads down to a delightful brook. Much care has been taken to ensure the ecological qualities of the site are preserved and enhanced.

The project offers extensive environmental credentials with enhanced u-values, high levels of offsite construction (borne out of the challenging site access conditions), and sustainable heating and servicing strategy.

The project is currently at RIBA stage 4 – Technical Design and we are optimistic the project will be on site by the end of the year.

The scheme reflects the true Totnesian spirit, individual, brave and sustainable.

Client Testimonial

Following our acquisition of the site in Totnes, I met Rud on the Tennis scene and he mentioned that he had an architectural practice.

It was a fortunate encounter!
Rud and his team have worked creatively, professionally and have always worked in my best interests in providing architectural services.

They have developed wonderfully creative and exciting designs that ensured Planning was granted. I look forward to working with RSA on the next phase of the project.
