The opportunity

Reimagining a substantial residential plot as a premium three-home development.

The proposal tests how the existing plot can accommodate three high-quality homes while retaining a generous landscaped setting, maintaining privacy and creating a strong arrival sequence from Mile Flat.

Completed development

Three individually designed homes, delivered to a high architectural standard.

The completed development brings together contemporary gabled forms, natural stone, crisp render, timber detailing, generous glazing and carefully structured landscaping to create a distinctive private residential setting.

The adjoining homes

Two complementary residences complete the three-home development.

Set alongside the principal residence, the two adjoining homes share a coordinated architectural language of crisp rendered walls, glazed gables and contemporary detailing, while retaining their own private entrances, gardens and living spaces.

The brief

To replace the existing dwelling with three high-quality executive homes and prepare a coordinated planning, architectural and landscape-led development proposal.

Planning challenge

The site required a careful response to neighbouring properties, established access arrangements, mature trees, landscape character, residential amenity and the need to avoid an over-intensive form of development.

CJZ strategy

CJZ developed the scheme through site appraisal, layout testing, landscape integration and detailed architectural design. The arrangement uses the depth of the site to create privacy, a strong sense of arrival and generous separation between each dwelling.

Design response

The architecture combines contemporary gabled forms with stone, render and timber detailing. Large areas of glazing and carefully articulated elevations establish a premium identity while the landscape framework softens parking and reinforces the mature setting.

Project status

The development is complete. The project photography records the finished architecture, landscaped grounds, pool terrace and associated leisure accommodation.
