Terry Pawson Architects Wins Consent for New Development in Kingston Upon ThamesTerry Pawson Architects has received planning permission for a development of 2 new private houses in the Coombe Hill Conservation Area of Kingston upon Thames.
The practice was granted planning permission following appeal after the scheme for Q Developments was refused planning permission last summer, despite positive feedback from the Kingston Design Review Panel.
The new development is sited on the plot of an existing private house dating from the 1950s.
Two new interlocking houses, each with its own central courtyard, have been sited around a number of mature trees already on the site, creating a carefully designed composition within the verdant character of the area.
The 6000 sqft houses are designed to symmetrically reflect one another and are slightly staggered on the gradient of the site.
Internally, rooms are positioned around a central courtyard which brings light to the lower ground floor.
The ground floor is devoted to family life and entertainment, private bedrooms are located on the first floor and guest bedrooms in the lower ground floor facing into the courtyard.
Planning permission was originally refused on the basis of the building's incongruous appearance, mass and bulk in relation to the surrounding conservation area.
