Sites and Development

Have a site, plot of land or property with development potential?

SOLV architects can help you understand what might be possible and how to approach the design and planning of a residential development.

Every site has its own opportunities and constraints. We look at the location, existing buildings, access, landscape and planning context to help establish what could work and how the site might be developed sensitively.

This could be a new home on an individual plot, replacing an existing building or a small residential development. We consider not just what can be built, but how the design can respond to its surroundings and create good places to live.

Understanding the opportunity

The early stages are often about asking the right questions. What might the site accommodate? What are the planning considerations? How should buildings be positioned? And how can a development make the best use of the site while respecting its surroundings?

We can help assess the potential of a site, develop design proposals and guide you through the planning process.

Based in Winchester, Solv works across Winchester and Hampshire, bringing experience in residential architecture and a practical approach to the opportunities and challenges of each site.

An initial conversation can help you understand what might be possible and what to consider next.

I have used SOLV architects for several projects on both grade 2 listed and non listed properties. I had quite a clear idea of what I wanted to design. Shaun always listened to my ideas respectfully, but was also happy to offer alternatives if he felt they would better serve my needs or the space available. He worked closely with the builders to ensure the build was on track and being constructed inaccordance with his design and at all times was effieicient transparant and communicative. I have no heistantion in recommending his services
