Atkinson Architects are pleased to see construction and renovation works progressing well on site at Ash House near Dartmouth in South Devon.
Residential Renovation and Extension in South Devon
The project involves the full renovation of the main dwelling, a new courtyard extension, a new front colonnade, and associated landscape interventions. Works include fine woodwork to both external and internal elements, alongside full window replacement using the highest quality traditional joinery detailing.
Bespoke Courtyard Extension and Slate Wall Design
The new courtyard extension has been designed to mirror the very specific slate-on-edge garden stone walling, which is a defining feature of the banked walls around the property.
The new raked slate wall panels are bespoke, workshop-made, and delivered to site for precise installation, ensuring continuity of materiality and craftsmanship across the scheme.
Architectural Services
Atkinson Architects have provided a full scope of professional architectural services, including concept design, planning submission, and detailed technical information for Building Regulations approval.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design
Significant improvements to energy efficiency have been incorporated throughout the project. These include solar panels installed in adjacent fields (sheltered from view), high levels of insulation, reduced thermal bridging, and improved window performance to reduce heat loss.
Ash House is one of the finest dwellings in South Hams, set within a rolling Devon landscape. The property is being carefully renovated for private clients committed to contemporary design balanced with sensitive restoration.
