Planning Permission - Forest View

We are pleased to have secured planning approval for Forest View, a carefully designed high-end residential extension in Oxfordshire that enhances both the functionality and experience of the existing home. Thoughtfully integrated within its natural setting, the scheme introduces a considered balance of contemporary intervention and contextual sensitivity.

The proposal includes a subterranean garage and gym, seamlessly embedded into the sloping terrain. A key feature of the garage is the glazed display space, creating a striking view of the client’s supercar while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding woodland. The garage opens onto the descending front garden, offering carefully framed views of the landscape beyond.

Above, the design introduces a swimming pool and outdoor sheltered space for dining and entertaining, extending the home’s engagement with the outdoors. The pool’s positioning provides a dramatic yet harmonious relationship with the architecture below, offering a refined balance of solidity and transparency.

Given the site’s woodland character, the scheme has been developed with a sensitive approach to landscape integration, ensuring minimal disruption to the existing tree coverage while maximising natural light and views.

This approved scheme reflects a refined and contemporary approach to residential architecture, delivering a seamless extension that enhances both lifestyle and connection to nature. We look forward to progressing the project to the next stage.
