Salters Acres in Hampshire, England by OB ARCHITECTURE

Salters Acres is a development of 3 detached houses on Stockbridge Road in Winchester.
The 3 houses were conceived in response to the suburban setting of the site on the edge of Winchester; the character of the area is quite mixed so we set out to establish a design that would feel comfortable within its setting without overtly replicating one of the various architectural styles in the vicinity.
The simple, recognisable pitched roof form and the prominent chimneys reference the Victorian vernacular of many of the residential areas of the city, whilst the yellow brick, the contemporary detailing and the large windows gives the development a more distinctive and modern character.
The layout creates an active street scene with openings and recesses and projections and it preserves the mature landscaped setting by being set back from the trees along Stockbridge Road.
