Located high up on the hill at the outlying edge of Aspley Guise and close to the Woburn Estate, our proposals were to replace a single dwelling house with eight high-end apartments. The site context is a mature plot with significant protected trees to the perimeter and a conservation area land use. Careful consideration to drainage and local architecture was made with the aim to provide a high quality addition to the area. The utilisation of high quality materials and detailing allowed a positive provision for this well needed development.
