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.

Horsedown Farm submitted for planning

We have submitted our Horsedown Farm concept in for planning, the design reimagines the existing barn conversion as a contemporary home which is subservient, yet contrasting to the adjacent traditional barn building complex and its rural location in the South Downs National Park.

 

Our design inserts a bold, modern element into the existing milking farmstead. With a sympathetic renovation of the lower floor level, the insertion extends upwards and to the side with a timber framed infill, finished in weathered steel. The extension will allow for additional living space for the growing family, architecturally designed to enhance the existing structure and the take in the views out across the surrounding countryside.
