Hayfield

Paul Cashin Architects 'PCA' is a creative architectural practice based in Winchester, Hampshire. PCA takes a design-led approach to the practice of contemporary architecture, believing that well thought and considered design is essential to the creation of successful architectural space.

The practice undertakes contemporary architectural design projects across residential, commercial and civic sectors of the construction industry. Currently having a number of live projects across Winchester, Hampshire and the South Coast including one-off new build houses, extensions and commercial business projects.

As a small practice, our strength lies in our inclusive and personal approach, working directly with clients, consultants, and contractors, encouraging the cross over between architecture and other areas of art and design.

We are in a consistent state of process, working through a range of media including physical and computer models, hand and computer drawings, sketching and conceptual diagrams, discussions and presentations.

Type: Residential

Hayfield is a development project in Twyford, in the South Downs National Park.  The original site features a tired single detached dwelling with a large garden and beautiful views across a valley to the south.  We were approached to provide a vision of two houses on the site, one to replace the tired existing house, and a second installed in the garden.

 The houses are a pair, like siblings, with subtle changes in materiality.  The initial concept was to provide two long plan forms which helped to reduce impact on the street scene, whilst opening up garden spaces to the east and west sides.  The arrangement of spaces is set along a corridor which snakes through the home and provides each room with it’s own view.

 We took design cues from the Arts and Crafts era, as the local village features some period properties in this style.  The cat slide roof and asymmetric roof planes are a nod to Lutyens and Voysey.
