Paul Cashin Architects | News

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.

Paul Cashin Architects Project in Winchester Nears Completion

Building work for one of our side extension projects is scheduled to finish later this month.  The project, a modest contemporary side extension to a modern town house in Winchester, features an expansion of the kitchen and the creation of a snug.  Above the new spaces we have inserted a roof light looking up towards the brickwork of the house, whilst bringing southern light into the new rooms.

The scheme received planning consent during the winter of 2015 and started on site in July 2016.  The design features clean rendered walls and a slim line slate coping, with bespoke doors and roof light.  The interior is finished with bespoke timber joinery.
