We were delighted to have been shortlisted for the Novers Hill Design Competition with Goram Homes, and Bristol Housing Festival. During the first stage of this exciting competition, we focused on delivering a conceptual presentation which visualised our care for the surrounding ecology and landscaping which exists throughout the site. Our early concept focused on the natural levels in the site, and how we could mould our proposal around a series of landscaped spaces which draw people through the site and connect them to the Western Slopes. A large podium garden, Southernly orientated roofscapes and materials which help to embed the houses visually, are some of the key architectural moves we felt were important to the delivery of 50 new homes and a community building at Novers Hill.
