New house in Holybourne, Hampshire

Macallan Penfold Architects have just gained planning approval for a new private house within the heart of the Holybourne conservation area in Hampshire, the first step towards fulfilling our client’s ambition to create a new family home on the plot of land that they purchased for its wonderful setting. Their brief was to take advantage of the site’s aspect and resources to make the house highly sustainable and as energy efficient as possible, further augmenting a naturally sloping verdant site, adopting natural materials, maximising light and obscuring the threshold between inside and out. Our response is a low impact design organised to demonstrate that the existing [...]

Business Units, Forge Road, Kingsley

Macallan Penfold has recently achieved detailed planning permission on behalf of its client to demolish several agricultural buildings and storage containers and replace them with a new complex of small business units.  These units would be arranged as simple barn structures enclosing a courtyard space that provides access and parking. The design is based on traditional building spans and grids that provide ideal combinations of unit size and floor space configurations for such uses. In planning terms, the site is located in the countryside outside any Settlement Policy Boundary, although the immediate character is defined by the adjoining small hamlet - a residential and commercial grouping [...]

Worting House, Basingstoke

Macallan Penfold has recently secured planning consent to add two new courtyard buildings within the historic parkland setting of Worting House, a Georgian grade II listed building on the western edge of Basingstoke in Hampshire. The proposals, which total almost 1700 square metres, provide new office space and a fitness centre to complement both the main house and an adjoining listed Coach House, which are used as serviced offices. These new buildings will be arranged tightly within the curtilage of the existing Walled Garden, and set-down within the depth of the sloping site, thereby reducing the impact of their height. The intention is to provide a [...]

New Education Centre at Holy Cross Hospital, Haslemere

The building is arranged on two levels and takes advantage of [...]

Royal opening of redeveloped living accommodation at Treloar’s School and College

Macallan Penfold is proud to have worked on several projects for Treloar’s School and College over the years. Treloar’s provides education to young people with disabilities. In 2017, HRH The Countess of Wessex GCVO visited Treloar’s School and College to officially open the newly renovated Gauvain House. Built in the 1960s, when the profile of students was very different, both Evans and Gauvain were no longer fit for purpose to accommodate students with more complex and, often, multiple disabilities. Gauvain House was a 1960s building which was extensively redeveloped and reconfigured to provide 13 en-suite bedrooms with shared common room and dining room facilities on the [...]
