Rectory House Extension in Chichester, England by Rider Stirland Architects

Monday, July 1st, 2019

Article source: Rider Stirland Architects 

Client Objectives

Rectory House is located in a small village within the South Downs National Park. Our client’s aspiration was to improve the entrance experience to the property – this aspect never being satisfactorily resolved when the old school building was converted into a residential home.

Description of the Works

A generous new porch provides an appropriate transition space between the courtyard and main entrance hall. The setting required an extremely sensitive design approach, for which we drew inspiration from the detailing of the existing building. The new structure was formed in brick and stone, with handmade red brickwork framing roughly-hewn clunch stone walling with a plinth and traditional quoins. Feature stones were precision cut by machine to perfectly match existing window details and to form entirely new elements, such as the arched surround to the porch entrance. The surround is designed to reflect the form and proportions of the existing elevation, and aligned on axis with the existing entrance door; subtly tying these elements together and one of a number of moves that help fuse the extension to the original building. The roof is pitched and tiled with red clay tiles, with a scalloped banding detail and dark roll-top ridge.

Gerry Judah was asked by BMW to come up with a sculpture, bigger and better than anything done before, to commemorate their centenary at Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, West Sussex.  With over two hundred thousand visitors over one weekend, this is the global platform where the world’s most amazing motorsport machines are in evidence, static and dynamic.  It is also where one can see a sculpture that each year is different, dramatic, exciting, uncompromising and quite frankly, spectacular!  All designed for the past 19 years by Judah himself.
