Base Architecture & Design Ltd
Unit 1, NEXUS , Roushill , Shrewsbury , Shropshire , SY1 1PT , United Kingdom
The site is located outside of Gobowen and forms part of the strategic development boundary for the locality. The scheme was required to provide in excess of 100 new homes with associated ancillary facilities. The basis of the scheme was to ensure that the street scenes created an environment which was safe and secure and provided an appropriate identity that could be related to readily by the occupants. The scheme developed a language which drove the architecture into forming continual frontages even where houses bridged car parking access points. The car parking was dealt with in a sensitive way by creating parking which allowed site lines between vehicles where they were parking on street, however, the majority of parking was done within the curtilage of the properties screening the vehicles away from sight. The resulting master plan received permission in 2007 for 124 houses.
