AVENUE VILLAS

Sensitive reconfiguration of a terrace house in Comely Bank Estate

Our client’s ambition was to sensitively adapt the existing villa to accommodate their growing family and repair and improve the efficiency of the building. Part of a terrace of three houses which are 175 years old, the villas were created by the subdivision and rebuilding of a farmhouse on the site forming part of Comely Bank Estate. The brief included the desire to connect their home to the separate woodland garden adjacent to enhance and cultivate this neglected area as an embedded part of the family home. Any new construction works will be conducted sensitively, in light of both the existing trees within the woodland area and the historic house, ensuring a sustainable future for the site.
