New detached country house, North Yorkshire
MOA was engaged to develop proposals for a new detached dwelling for a private client, set within the grounds of a former country pub, in a village setting in North Yorkshire, with detached garage and sheltered outdoor entertainment space.
The project also included conversion of the former pub’s 1st floor to private apartments and creation of a new community shop and bakery to the ground floor, including pop-up bar. Refurbishment of detached former staff quarters as guest accommodation was also part of the masterplan for the site.
The client’s brief for the house – entirely newbuild - was for a sympathetically styled but contemporary four-bed house. Accommodation required included a large open-plan living space with views of the gardens and countryside beyond, dining space and kitchen and games room.

A contemporary new house for a private client

The client's brief was for a highly contemporary home which provided a sense of privacy and shelter given the proximity of neighbouring properties.

A bespoke housing development for a niche developer
Masterplan and concept design for a contemporary five-unit housing development in a rural setting. The concept was based on creating a series of individual houses, connected through the use of similar forms and materials. Varying each house layout to suit its position and views aimed to maximise sales value as well as make most efficient use of the site.
Town centre residential masterplan, the Northeast
MOA has developed outline proposals for a new housing development to an allocated housing site in the centre of a former mining town in the Northeast. The plans are part of a proposed wider programme of town centre regeneration and public realm improvements.
MOA's concept design for the new housing masterplan incorporates a mix of house-types from supported living bungalows to semi-detached family homes. Through using a 'family' of components for the envelope construction, finished in an interchangeable, curated palette of materials, the individual units could be custom-built for the occupier whilst reflecting the local character.
The housing is arranged to be set away from the boundary of the site, allowing a landscape fringe to the site perimeter, with he housing clusters permeated by green corridors, pedestrian and cycle routes. Shared environments allow vehicle access into the site without becoming a dominant part of the streetscene.
The site is also arranged to reflect potential further development in later phases of the town’s masterplanning.
