Project Revisit: A contemporary home in a heritage setting

Flintstones, a contemporary home on a sloping site near listed buildings, was recently placed on the market. WDA enjoyed the opportunity to review this intriguing house that we designed over a decade ago.

Thanks to Domvs Estate Agents, we are now able to share these fantastic images of this truly unique property.

residential modern new home with feature flint fireplaceLocated in the village of Winterbourne Whitechurch, Dorset, and adjoining the designated Conservation Area, the site is subject to a number of significant constraints. These include its position within the garden setting of Grade II listed thatched cottages and its close proximity to the Grade I listed Church of St Mary. The site, formerly a chalk quarry, is also characterised by a steeply sloping topography, further adding to its complexity and necessitating a carefully considered architectural response.
