Coppice Hanger, Pulborough, W. Sussex

A new development of 6 houses in a historic village conservation area setting with a unique contemporary take on traditional vernacular houses.

​

In the village of Pulborough, West Sussex, the site is located in a Conservation Area defined by traditional houses utilising local building materials in a range of vernacular and historic techniques. The southern slope facing the broad flood plain of the River Arun and the South Downs provides ideal orientation and views.

​

The proposed site layout is loose but functional to fit the built fabric of the village and optimise the value of the proposed houses. The 2 detached houses are positioned on the top of the site with best views and maximum privacy, whilst the 4 semi-detached houses are proposed on the lower part of the site with better access to the road.

​

A comprehensive context analysis informed the form and materiality of the design to achieve successful integration into the local vernacular character whilst a contemporary spatial layout and fenestration was used to make sure the quality of the internal spaces will exceed the expectations of the local market and owners.
