The Old Mill, Great Glen

Medium Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2022 Winner

The Old Mill is a low-density development of six new detached houses on the edge of Great Glen.

The bespoke homes in a countryside setting were designed to have their own individuality through proportion, placing and materials.

The site was challenging, with a foul main running across the site and an ancient right of way emerging during construction. A potential flood risk was managed by remodelling the topography

Further Information

The Old Mill is a new hamlet of six homes in a leafy and attractive site. The dwellings face the access road at different angles, giving the development a varied appearance that avoids monotony and overlooking.

A rich palette of materials, heavily influenced by the local vernacular, formed the basis of creating a bespoke finish for each individual dwelling.

During construction some of the dwellings were bought early in their build, enabling the purchasers to shape the internal finishes, layout and, in some cases, the external footprint. All the properties were sold.
