📣 Unity Architects has been appointed upon a new conservation project in Royal Leamington Spa, following the acclaimed York Road transformation.

🏛️ The property is located within Area 30 – New Milverton and was previously owned by an architect who had strategised and implemented alterations to the building.

🏗️ Whilst the current owner and client of Unity Architects associates some success with the previous works, there is requirement to customise the dwelling to reflect the specific needs of the family.

We look forward to developing the Initial Project Brief, responsive concept design and sensitive modification to this part of the conservation area.

It is with great satisfaction that we can announce York Road has achieved Practical Completion.

A project finding balance between new and old; quietly confident and sensitively rooted within the conservation area setting.

As a collective, we have successfully altered the DNA of this dwelling. The architectural additions set the basis for a new standard of living, escalating spatial, aesthetic, performance and experiential conditions to new levels.

This project has been a great success and we thank the entirety of the Project Team for their respective contributions.

We extend a special thank you to the Client for entrusting Unity Architects with the creation of this project and hope the spaces bring them many years of enjoyment.

We recently visited the Serpentine Pavilion 2026 by Lanza Atelier.

Development needed to be >1m from the existing tree canopies. This gave rise to a sweeping form in plan, including a crinkle-crankle wall.

The crinkle-crankle wall successfully weaved its way around the tree constraint and the curving form was echoed throughout the paving arrangement.

I was left wanting a little more from the feature curved wall:

- We could still 'straight line' the leading curved path, eroding what should be a more experiential method of entering and exiting the pavilion. Reducing the overall width of the path would have held the person closer to the wall and prevented the straight line opportunity.

- The 'pockets' within the curve of the wall were left unused. Surely it should have invited opportunities to dwell, with varying levels of shade, outlook, shelter etc.

- Physical interaction with the wall could have increased human connectivity with the curved form. Tactile qualities, apertures, opportunities for framed views.

- Occupants were positioned in the centre of the main space, devoid of connection with the curved enclosing walls. I mentioned to myself: "if the perimeter walls were orthogonal, the occupants could be positioned in exactly the same way". A disconnect between the human and the object.

Conclusions: a successful concept in plan, that has not fully translated into an immersive, experiential scenario.

Have you visited the 2026 Serpentine Pavilion? If so, what are your thoughts?

One of our 2024 projects in Stratford-upon-Avon is nearing completion.

Forcrete Micro-Quartz in ‘Honey 2’ has been applied to the floor, kitchen island and above the kitchen splashback.

BT Microcement’s installation photographs capture the seamless, durable and low-maintenance finish, complimenting the architectural vision; delivering a modern, light-filled extension.

PLANNING SUBMISSION

Unity Architects has submitted a Reserved Matters planning application for a new self-build/custom-build dwelling in rural Warwickshire, advancing an existing Outline consent into a carefully resolved architectural proposal.

As continuation to an embryonic Outline consent, all matters needed to be resolved. This included adhering to the development parameters established via the Outline consent, the most prominent being limited to a single-storey dwelling with a maximum of three bedrooms.

Accepting the virgin garden land with the development control restrictions, Unity Architects has worked closely with the private client to critique the development site from first principles. We have progressively established an architectural strategy that attends to the personal needs of the client, in tandem with forming a contextually responsive solution.

The Concise Townscape by Gordon Cullen was frequently referenced during the concept design stage. We were interested in serial vision, sequences, discovery, drama and the sense of gradual reveal as you progress further into the architectural setting.
This set the basis for an experiential journey of arrival, motion and settlement: internal and external spaces connected via walkways and garden routes to create an infinite and changing architectural experience.

An underlying architectural narrative for this building was to ensure the new home would be positioned ‘in the space’ and not ‘on the edge of the space’. A common scenario is to locate a building on the edge of a plot, looking outwards. This can result in disconnection, fracture and predictability. We have established an immersive experience, directly injecting the occupant into the heart of the plot, surrounded by space.

By placing the end-user at the epicentre of the site, we have promoted varied outlook and aspect as one moves in and around the building. A deconstructed panoramic experience has been generated, allowing the end-user to frame, capture and stitch the experiential moments together as consequence of moving from one space to the next.

The ‘Social Island’ successfully demonstrates this strategy, by forming a projection in the centre of the plot, surrounded by garden, trees, planting and long-distance views.
Alongside its architectural ambition, the proposal has been developed with a strong environmental focus. The building is designed to achieve the PHI Low Energy Building Standard and, with further technical detailing, has the potential to achieve Passive House Classic standard.

Unity Architects is pleased to present an architecturally significant and environmentally conscious custom-build home that responds to its rural setting while supporting the needs of the client and future generations.

Our conservation project in Leamington Spa continues to move towards completion.

The newly defined rear façade, using external materials of stone, brick and glass create dynamism via sections of solid and void. The material palette successfully blends old and new components in a harmonious way. The cantilevered oriel window maintains critical sightlines from the host dwelling whilst introducing a striking contemporary focal point to the rear elevation.

The cantilevered 440mm thick 'garden wall', which previously stood independently awaiting the glass, is now seamlessly integrated with the delicate, highly engineered structural glass enclosure. As beautifully captured within the site photographs, the juxtaposition between the textured facing brickwork and the pristine, contemporary glazing creates a compelling visual dynamic.

With the building envelope now secure and the internal sense of space fully tangible, the project will shortly advance into the final stages of the internal fit-out and finishing. We remain highly energised as we watch this exceptional addition to the Leamington Spa Conservation Area approach practical completion.

Unity Architects has submitted an outline planning application to establish a new self-build/custom build dwelling within the rear garden of an existing property.

During last 20-years, 57% of the existing 40-metre-long private garden space has been underutilised, representing significant inefficiency. The developer client has recognised this trend and has ambition to use the land more progressively via the creation of an additional dwelling.

The Metropolitan Borough of Dudley has a significant shortfall of housing delivery, falling well beneath the government threshold. Beyond increasing land efficiency at this site, the creation of a new home contributes to the urgent requirement of supplying new houses within the borough.

Whilst there is strength to be found within the National Planning Policy Framework for the creation of sustainable development and bringing small sites forward for self-build and custom-build housing, significant sensitivity around such proposals remains.

Unity Architects has worked diligently with the developer client to ensure the proposal responds directly to the Dudley Council Residential Design (SPD). Strict attention has been applied to the requirements of garden land development including:

•Generating a ratio of built form to garden that is consistent with current use.

•Mitigating any adverse impact to the street scene.

•Creation of a low-impact, single-storey building that is akin to existing rear garden ancillary outbuilding development.

•Exceeding the nationally described space standards to deliver a high-quality internal living environment for the future end-user.

•Ensuring the host property benefits from the same external amenity space that is currently used.

•Providing the host dwelling and proposed dwelling with external amenity spaces that far exceed the minimum standards.

•Façade separation distances between habitable rooms, including mitigating measures to further safeguard privacy and outlook.

•Compliant highways access, including enhancements to off-street parking to meet the local parking standards.

•Distinct separation of land portions between the dwellings, including dedicated vehicular access and pedestrian circulation between the respective buildings.

•Ecological considerations that attend to protected species and locally identified nesting birds.

•Emergency fire services access, including hose length to furthest point of the proposed dwelling.

•Sustainability credentials such as on-site photovoltaic energy generation, battery storage, EV-charging, air sourced heat pump, high-performance thermal envelope and rainwater harvesting.

•Sustainable transport via dedicated on-site bicycle parking, encouraging connectivity to the local town within 5-minutes and the City of Birmingham within 45-minutes.

The intensive design exploration process delivers a compelling scenario for the creation of a new dwelling.

A high standard of design has been demonstrated, presenting a sustainable and well-integrated scheme that can positively contribute to the vitality of the local area and the much-needed housing supply.

We look forward to receiving the support of the local planning authority in consideration of this outline application, for what should be a delightful and widely obtainable new home.
