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 - Steam Town Brew Co, Eastleigh, Hampshire, Demolition Underway

Demolition is underway at Steam Town Tap Room, a conversion project in Eastleigh, Hampshire.  

The existing cafe on the corner of Bishopstoke Road and Dutton Lane is being converted into a brewery and tap room. Flooring, old WCs, and a mezzanine floor are some of the aspects of the building which have already been demolished, freeing up space for the new proposed scheme.

Working alongside a structural engineer on site, Paul Cashin Architects were able to learn more about the structure of the building, which is not fully documented in original drawings. This is an ongoing process, as demolition continues. Recently, we were surprised to find some brick work which had previously been concealed, and now will feature in the new design.

We are continuing to work with the clients to produce internal refurbishment details which will focus on the brewing process of craft/local beers.  The interior spaces will make references to the history of industry in Eastleigh, a railway town with an industrious past which includes the Spitfire aircraft and train sidings.  We propose to create furniture and fixtures from up-cycled materials once used in the industries linked to the town.
