Ansty Plum House

Ansty Plum House

This rural house is radically sited on a steep wooded slope and overlooks a group of C12th buildings. Designed by David Levitt in 1964 for one of Ove Arup’s former partners, the property had fallen into disrepair and was uninhabitable for much of the year.

Working in partnership with architect Coppin Dockray, we delivered a gem, consisting of two eloquent and imaginative buildings. The entire project has undergone an impressive retrofit and a bold studio extension
