Clearwater / Berkshire

A+P have designed a dwelling of exceptional design quality in accordance with “paragraph 84” of the National Planning Framework in the site of a former sewage treatment works Wiltshire.

In our proposal we have depicted how architecture can play a more holistic and sustainable role within the water cycle. The main volumes of the house are set at different heights, stepping down with the roofscape used to harvest, transport, store, and filter rainwater as it moves from the sky to the ground.

“Precipitation, transportation, infiltration, evaporation, condensation.”

A diagonal timber structure wraps around the house inspired by the interplay of light through leaves in the forest, and a modern interpretation of the local vernacular architecture. Vegetation will grow up and around the structure, grounding the building within the seasonal changes and rhythms of nature.
