DESIGN FEASIBILITY PROPOSAL FOR SITE AT CLIFTEN MEWS, RANELAGH

SITE CONSTRAINTS • • • • • • •

Main House is a Protected Structure DCC Mews Development Guidelines Potential for overshadowing to north of site Protection of Privacy to existing and proposed Party Wall Issues Car Parking requirement Varying Street Edge provides uncertainty as to planning strategy

DELIVERABLES 1.

2.

To achieve a high quality planning permission without conditions detrimental to a quality scheme To provide of a final product of highly desirable real estate specifically designed to meet the requirements of the targeted market segment.

The assumption here is that the target market would broadly consist of financial industry [or similar net worth] workers employed in the area.

STRATEGY Urban form Options provided for under the development plan 1.

2.

3.

Small scale apartment building [subject to restrictions] Mews house over apartment Single high quality house

We have carried out a spatial analysis for each of the development options above in light of the constraints imposed and concluded that option 3, a single high quality house would a.) answer the site constraints and policy restrictions of the development plan b.) most likely make the best return on investment.

We propose an initial scheme for discussion based on modular design that is modifiable subject to planning discussion. This strategy would allow us to firm up on proposals for the street edge subsequent to planning discussion.

Proposal For this initial scheme we propose a 2-3 storey structure comprising an 160 sqM [1720 sqFt] house integrated into the character of the existing mews lane Fig. 1 Exploded Sketch Model from Site Survey

We have developed a strategy based on two principles in order to maximising sunlight ingress into the depth of the site: 1.

2.

The use of the northern party wall to the site as a reflecting wall [see fig 2 right]. The site orientation provides us with an opportunity to exploit fully the potential for a bright and airy house within the confines of a tight urban site Integration of light courts within the dwelling. This has the further benefit of reducing the level of overlooking both to and from the house and ensuring complete privacy for the future occupiers

Ground Modelling Subject to site conditions, we propose that there is a planning case to be made for a semi-excavated ground floor level. This would have the result of both reducing the bulk of the proposed dwelling and increasing the head height and floor area to the ground floor.

Roof Gardens We propose a combination of Roof Terraces and Private Courts to provide for the private open space requirement behind the building line. It is proposed to integrate these into the form of the house in order to obviate any overlooking or over shadowing to neighbouring sites.
