The project in detail.
This bespoke replacement dwelling near Upton-upon-Severn was designed to create a spacious, light-filled home with a strong connection to its landscaped setting. The architecture combines a traditional pitched-roof form with contemporary interventions, including a dramatic double-height glazed entrance, generous openings and dark-framed windows.
Internally, the home is organised around an impressive open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings and a mezzanine level above. A sculptural spiral staircase provides access to the upper floor while acting as a distinctive feature within the room. Rooflights, full-height glazing and carefully positioned windows bring natural light deep into the interior and create views across the garden.
A restrained palette of facing brickwork, smooth render, dark roof tiles and aluminium-style frames gives the property a contemporary yet contextually appropriate character. The completed dwelling provides flexible accommodation, generous family spaces and a distinctive architectural identity suited to its semi-rural location.
