Old Road

NCA were commissioned to prepare a design proposal for the redevelopment of a suburban site in Oxford, which is currently host to a large Arts and Crafts Villa. 8 new contemporary apartments are proposed to the rear of the existing house and are nestled within a verdant and ornamental communal garden, which is envisaged to engender a sense of community. These are provided within the large existing detached property and the proposed set of buildings to the Southern extents of the garden which has been designed to create an active frontage addressing a Cul-de-Sac at the rear site boundary.

The architectural language draws on the character of the sites context, and adapts this in a modern and contemporary style without compromising the living conditions for their future occupants.

This proposal was submitted to Oxford City Council and received full planning permission in December 2022.
