APRA House, Market Harborough

Small Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2019 Finalist

APRA House is a contemporary new dwelling that provides a light, airy, open-plan living space for a retired couple.

The design retains elements of the traditional, homely environment they were accustomed to in their previous 18th century thatched cottage.

The new building occupies a convenient location within the thriving town centre of Market Harborough whilst benefitting from the tranquillity of a large open green space immediately adjacent to the site.

Further Information

Inside APRA House is a very clean, light and airy series of spaces within the main living accommodation and throughout the ancillary spaces and three bedrooms beyond.

The introduction of the large canopy protects the occupants from the summer sun and created a covered outdoor seating space.

Two distinct wings were created, separated by the full-height galleried hallway and the main first floor access from a ‘floating’ staircase.
