AR Design Studio has received planning permission for Five Elms, a private bespoke new build house located in Bosham, West Sussex, set within the sensitive context of the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The site is subject to flooding, therefore from the outset the brief required the design team to address these constraints. The narrative for the scheme came from within the local context, in the form of a Rap-tackle Grade II listed 18th century warehouse, planted in the water of Bosham Quay. This building, typical of its context, uses solid brick plinths to raise the building above water level, protecting and supporting an inhabited timber clad form.
