Private House, Shawford
We are pleased to confirm that a planning application has recently been submitted by Radley House Partnership for a replacement dwelling in the village of Shawford, Hampshire.
The scheme is for a traditional Queen Anne style house, which will be an exciting addition to the semi-rural street scene. Large windows draw in natural light and frame views of the surrounding gardens.
The observant among you that have visited our website before may have noticed that it is now bursting with additional, recently completed projects, such as the Haslar Police Barracks and the Jill Issac Building.
Photos for the majority of the new projects have been captured by Photographers Greg Moss, Ben wood and Christopher Horwood. The latter being provided courtesy of Artichoke Ltd.
Many of these projects have also been featured in news updates over the past few years so check-out some of our earlier posts to see the progress made.

Big thanks to our AABC conservation accredited architect and Director, Jeremy Poll, for his fascinating guided tour of the buildings at Winchester College last week.
The office outing gave our staff the opportunity to see some of the specialised repair and conservation work undertaken by the practice.
Particular focus was given to the Grade I Listed War Cloister (1924), where Jeremy is currently overseeing a comprehensive package of repair and re-presentations works.
The quadrangle War Cloister was designed by renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker as a war memorial to commemorate college students (Wykehamists) that were killed during the First World War. The sensitive restoration of paintwork to each of the commemorative plaques and bosses is the current focus of attention and is being carried out by specialist paint conservators from Sally Strachey Historic Conservation.
The completed traditional house at The Tallet. This flint clad building is the last house to be completed and the largest of the houses designed by Radley House for the former agricultural site.
In contrast, pictures of the contemporary barn style unit opposite were posted below on the 12th of January.
Works have begun on Haccups Lane in Michelmersh, for the construction of 3 detached family homes. The houses are partially sunken into the hillside, requiring significant ground works and basement retaining structures. As perhaps to be expected, site conditions at this time of year are presenting a challenge!
The last post for this project was in June 2022, where images of the proposed houses, designed by Radley House, can be found.
The repair and refurbishment of this highly unusual Edwardian house on the Solent coast is drawing to an end after a significant programme of works that has spanned the last 4 years. Radley House Partnership are delighted and proud to have been the architects and lead consultants behind such a wonderful scheme. Working with a variety of skilled professionals and craftsmen, the house, which is compartmentalised into a number of individual apartments for family members, has been comprehensively restored incorporating a number of alterations and upgrades to bring it into the 21st century.
We recently commissioned a set of photos by Greg Moss that were taken on a bright, crisp January morning, which capture its theatrical, piecemeal appearance and wonderful coastal location.
More information, including a dedicated project page, will be available on our website in the coming months.
Kicking off 2024 with another completed project! Works have come to an end at The Tallet in Stockbridge, Hampshire. This scheme, pictured on a very cold winters morning, is for 3 large, detached units on a sloping site for local developer Wykeham Homes. The building pictured is a barn style unit clad in charred timber that was designed to replicate the appearance of the former agricultural barns that used to occupy the same location.
2023 has been another busy year at Radley House Partnership, with a large variety of new and continuing projects being undertaken. Some of our important projects that will run into next year include the repair and re-presentation of the Grade I listed Old Cloister at Winchester College, as featured in Country Life magazine back in February this year.
After a number of years, in both cases, ongoing work has come to an end for two large private estates located on the Solent coast and on the Isle of Wight. Work for these two unique projects has included extensive internal and external refurbishment, of which we will bring you more details in the new year.
On the developer side, numerous projects were successfully completed including the new-build development of thirteen dwellings at Spring Vale Road for local developer Shorewood Homes. This scheme, which comprised of six road facing brick and flint properties and a further seven brick-built dwellings off a new private drive, is typical of the small-scale development we undertake.
The four projects mentioned above are pictured below.
To assist with the workload, we are pleased to have welcomed two new members of architectural staff to our team this year, say hello Saeed and Nikesha! In the other direction we wish Alice well as she starts a period of maternity leave.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at Radley House. Bring on 2024!
Basement works are now underway for this contemporary house in Guildford. Planning permission was achieved last year and Radley House have been involved with the detailed design prior to the start on site.
Sketch designs are at an early stage for this class Q conversion of a modern portal framed barn in Hampshire. Subject to feedback we hope to progress to a prior approval application in the coming months.
Following our last post on this project over a year ago, the comprehensive package of landscaping works surrounding the buildings is now complete. How these buildings interact with the landscape forms a key part of their character. Extensive use of local limestone, rubble stone, reclaimed brick and textured render help to accentuate its romantic ‘castle’ like appearance. We recently commissioned a set of photos that were taken on a stormy November day, which capture their rugged, earthy nature.
Radley House Partnership, as architects and lead consultants, were delighted to have played a key part in this fascinating project.
More information, including a dedicated project page, will be available on our website in the coming months.
The Army Offshore Sailing Centre was formally opened last week following completion of the second phase of refurbishment works at this grade II* Listed building.
While the first phase stabilised the fabric and made the building watertight, the second phase saw the complete refurbishment of the interior, conservation of original fireplaces, restoration of floors and ceilings and the introduction of thermal improvements, modern services and supporting facilities. The works were initiated by Hornet Services Sailing Club in partnership with the Army Sailing Association and various other funding bodies.
Radley House Partnership were the architects and lead consultants for the second phase of works.
More information will be available on our website in the coming months.
The images below are for the design of a contemporary residential development of 17 new houses and apartments on a highly unusual site near the centre of Salisbury that has just been submitted for planning. The site includes an existing institutional Victorian building, which is being converted into 3 town houses as part of the development. The grounds of the building are extensive and back on to the River Avon. Part of this land, including a thin strip by the waters edge, is being given over to the new housing.
Although the existing buildings were not Listed they are part of a conservation area and were judged to be heritage assets so care has gone into the alterations and new build elements to preserve their special character. In addition, the constraints of the site and sensitive ecology of the riverside location have further informed the design and site layout.
New image for a contemporary development of 12 houses on land outside of Stubbington, Hampshire. The buildings are designed and arranged in the manor of a traditional farmstead to reflect the former land use.
