This backland development is currently under construction and comprises five 3 bedroom courtyard houses, four two bedroom flats and a commercial unit fronting Heath Road. Previously a garage site, the project had an unsuccessful planning history before Thomas Alexander crafted the approved scheme and was considered an un-developable site by the vendor. The proposal of courtyard houses with adaptive roof forms minimised the massing at sensitive areas of the backland site and created a predominantly inward facing housetype to minimise overlooking and create light, bright and tranquil living spaces. The concept seeks to celebrate the prior industrial use of the site. Formal brickwork creates a strong relationship with the streetscape and a standing seam cladding suggests a more industrial finish to pay homage to the prior raw materiality of the backland site. The relationship between these two materials is ever changing throughout the scheme. At the streetscape, tall and slender brick piers ofer a strong stance and appear to be controlling and holding back a metal clad form which peers between the brickwork. They are graceful in nature and appear to effortlessly restrain the metal form. Phase two of the project is due to be completed in the first quarter of 2020 and will deliver 4 flats and a commercial unit to the frontage at Heath Road.

Shortlisted for the prestigious ​Stephen Lawrence National Architecture Award​, and winning a RIBA South East Regional Award​ (2015), the kinetic Ancient Party Barn is a playful re-working of historic agricultural buildings for residential use. Our clients, a fashion designer and a digital designer, are avid collectors of reclaimed architectural artefacts. Together with the existing fabric of the barn, their discoveries formed the material palette. The result – part curation, part restoration – is a unique interpretation of the 18th Century threshing barn. The design (2,295 sqft) subverts the familiar barn-conversion type, creating hermetic, introspective spaces set in open countryside. A series of industrial mechanisms fold and rotate the facades to allow for broad views of the landscape. When they are closed, they afford cosy protection and security. These high-tech, kinetic moments occur without harming the fabric and character of the existing, handmade timber structure. Liddicoat & Goldhill’s conservation specialism, combined with strong relationships with expert craftspeople and engineers lets the clients’ contemporary vision co-exist with the humble, historic barn architecture. A steel and timber mezzanine inside the main space creates an open-plan, master bedroom and bathroom above, and a cosy living area below. The mezzanine is supported by a tapering brick chimney inspired by traditional Kentish brick ovens; a cor-ten helical staircase cantilevers from the chimney. The kitchen is a free-standing composition of furniture at the opposite end of the barn space, combining new and reclaimed furniture with custom-made steel gantries. These ledges and ladders contain storage shelves and hanging space, and create a route up through the barn timbers to a floating ‘crows nest’ sleeping platform in the roof. Within the low-rise buildings reaching south from the main barn, a series of new ragstone interior walls, like the cattle stalls they replaced, delineate a series of simple sleeping rooms for guests.

As you approach the home, the two barn-like volumes reveal themselves as distinct spaces. The public and private functions of a house are split between the two volumes – the kitchen, living, and dining areas are housed in one open-concept building, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are located in the other. They are linked together by a glassy hallway. The front entry is recessed in the main volume, and concealed by a large barn door that slides shut to offer protection from the elements when the family is away.
